While non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has revolutionised prenatal diagnostics by allowing the detection of a number of ...

Technique that examines fragments of foetal DNA in mother’s bloodstream could limit need for invasive screening, according to researchers ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

While noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has revolutionized prenatal diagnostics by allowing the detection of a number of genetic problems in a fetus, it is currently limited and thus misses many ...

Researchers at the Center for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM) have developed a new system that combines spore trapping ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

A new DNA sequencing technique that delivers faster and more accurate bacterial infection diagnoses could be implemented nationwide. The method, developed by the Medicines and Healthcare products ...

DNA-based methods dominate molecular cancer diagnostics but struggle to detect gene fusions and assess splice site consequences. RNA sequencing enables sensitive fusion detection and direct assessment ...
