• 46 gene sequencing test for cancer patients on the NHS

  The first multi-gene DNA sequencing test that can help predict cancer patients' responses to treatment has been launched in the National Health Service (NHS), thanks to a partnership between scientists at the University of Oxford and Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. The test uses the latest DN more

• Taking the gamble out of DNA sequencing

  Two USC scientists have developed an algorithm that could help make DNA sequencing affordable enough for clinics – and could be useful to researchers of all stripes.Andrew Smith, a computational biologist at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, developed the algorithm along with U more

• In the bacterial world of your mouth, nurture wins out over nature

  The human mouth is home to a teeming community of microbes, yet still relatively little is known about what determines the specific types of microorganisms that live there.  Is it your genes that decide who lives in the microbial village, or is it your environment?  In a study published in Genome Re more

• Genome Sequencer 20 System: Breakthrough in a New Applications Age of Sequencing
  

  The Genome Sequencer 20 System is an ultra-high-throughput automated DNA sequencing system capable of carrying out and monitoring sequencing reactions in a massively parallel fashion. Since the Genome Sequencer 20 System provides a complete solution for ultra-high-throughput DNA sequencing, an individual researcher can for the first time prepare samples and sequencing reactions, generate sequence reads, and assemble genome sequence data within days. more

• Identification of a New Arenavirus Using High-Throughput Sequencing
  

  Culture, PCR, serologic, and oligonucleotide microarray analyses for a wide range of infectious agents were negative in samples from three individuals who had received organ transplants from a single donor and died of a febrile illness 4-6 weeks after transplantation. Palacios et al. used high-troughput sequencing with the Genome Sequencer FLX system to identify microbial sequences from RNA samples taken from the liver and kidney transplants in two recipients. They found 14 sequences representing an Old World arenavirus related to lymphocytic choriomeningitis viruses. more

• Fetal aneuploidy detection by maternal plasma DNA sequencing: a technology assessment

  ABSTRACT The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists currently recommends that all pregnant women be offered screening for chromosomal abnormalities, regardless of maternal age. Traditional screening tests have detection rates ranging from 85% to 90% and false‐positive rates of 3% to more

• Characterization of CTX‐M‐type extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamase in clinical clones of Escherichia coli in Southwest China

  Abstract The rapid and widespread dissemination of CTX‐M‐type extended‐spectrum beta‐lactamases (ESBLs) Escherichia coli in most of the provinces in China has been previously characterized; however, these enzymes have been rarely reported among minority regions. A prospective study using 180 E. more

• Application of BRED technology to construct recombinant D29 reporter phage expressing EGFP

  Abstract Bacteriophage Recombineering of Electroporated DNA (BRED) has been described for construction of gene deletion and point mutations in mycobacteriophages. Using BRED, we inserted a Phsp60‐egfp cassette (1143 bp) into the mycobacteriophage D29 genome to construct a new reporter phage, whi more
