Researchers at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) in San Diego have successfully applied long-read genome sequencing to reveal the genetic underpinnings of complex psychiatric ...

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is not necessarily a solution for someone with a rare, monogenic disease. Indeed, more than half of families with suspected rare monogenic diseases do not have an answer ...

Chong’s study, “Deciphering the exact breakpoints of structural variations using long sequencing reads with DeBreak,” was recently published in Nature Communications. UAB researchers have developed a ...

Chong’s study, “Accurate long-read de novo assembly evaluation with Inspector,” was published in Genome Biology. Chong explains that long read sequencing techniques are revolutionizing genomics ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

PacBio has announced its participation in the 1000 Genomes Long Read Sequencing Project, contributing long-read transcriptome data to enhance this significant human genomics initiative. Through ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers' ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes.

To celebrate its addition to PacBio’s (CA, USA) Compatible Partner Program, ArgenTag (NY, USA) has announced the opening of a grant program to provide access to single-cell sequencing tech, free of ...
