News DNA Sequencing

• Honouring a pioneer of DNA testing
  

  The European Patent Office (EPO) announces that Spanish scientist and university professor Margarita Salas Falgueras has been nominated for the European Inventor Award 2019 for her pioneering invention that enables DNA tests to reconstruct full genomes from small samples such as a single hair follic more

• On-the-spot genome analysis
  

  The ability to read the genome - all the DNA of an organism - has vast potential to understand human health and disease. Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and UNSW Sydney have published a method to take genome analysis 'offline', by adapting a computer algorithm that can perfor more

• Cross-species cancer comparison uncovers new drug targets
  

  New drug targets for a rare form of melanoma may result from the discovery of similar genetic mutations found in humans, dogs and horses under a first-ever tri-species DNA sequencing study involving a University of Guelph researcher. Melanoma is a cancer that most commonly occurs in the skin in peop more

• High-resolution comparative analysis of great ape genomes

  Genetic studies of human evolution require high-quality contiguous ape genome assemblies that are not guided by the human reference. We coupled long-read sequence assembly and full-length complementary DNA sequencing with a multiplatform scaffolding approach to produce ab initio chimpanzee and oran more

• Best practices for analysing microbiomes

  Complex microbial communities shape the dynamics of various environments, ranging from the mammalian gastrointestinal tract to the soil. Advances in DNA sequencing technologies and data analysis have provided drastic improvements in microbiome analyses, for example, in taxonomic resolution, false di more

• Polyoma virus-associated carcinomas of the urologic tract: a clinicopathologic and molecular study

  In recent years, there has been increased interest in carcinomas of the urologic tract, that demonstrate association with the polyoma virus BK arising in immunosuppressed individuals, though the nature of this association is uncertain. To begin to understand this phenomenon, we reviewed the clinical more
