Sequencing

It’s hard to believe that Artruria has anything left to add to at this point, but here we are. NAMM 2024 is just about ready to kick off, and Arturia is rolling out version five of its home-grown super synth. In the grand scheme of , this is a one. But that’s not to say there aren’t new features worth getting excited about.Perhaps the most important new feature is also the most invisible. Pigments finally supports multi-core processing, dramatically improving performance. It was never the biggest resource hog in the…

An international consortium has sequenced the hagfish genome, filling a significant gap in vertebrate evolutionary research. This work, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, enhances understanding of genome duplications in vertebrates and their impact on the evolution of major physiological structures. Credit: Universtiy of MalagaResearchers have sequenced the hagfish genome, providing vital insights into vertebrate evolution and genome duplication history.An international scientific team made up of more than 40…

Advanced “deep sequencing” of patients’ genomes by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) researchers has unveiled previously undetected genetic variants connected to vascular anomalies. The discovery led to tailored therapies, improving the condition of over 60% of patients and paving the way for future non-invasive diagnostic techniques for such life-threatening conditions.The study captured genetic variants at extremely low levels, and dozens of patients began new therapies as a result of the findings.Researchers…

A new study has revealed the case for more extensive gene mapping in disease research, with whole genome sequencing offering an unprecedented look at the makeup and behavior of Hodgkin lymphoma that could lead to better understanding of this and other cancers' development and treatment.The current standard exome sequencing, which is a detailed look at protein-coding genes, detects some mutations and variants that advance cancers. But researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in the University of Miami Miller…

The once-futuristic idea of sequencing every newborn child’s DNA to screen for genes that could shape their future health is being put to two major tests. The United Kingdom today announced plans to sequence the genomes of 100,000 newborns for about 200 rare genetic diseases starting next year. In New York City, a similar project already underway will screen for a slightly larger number of diseases in 100,000 babies from the city’s diverse population. The goal is…

A new scientific study finds that personalized whole genome sequencing could double the diagnostic rates of rare diseases.Tailoring the analysis of whole genome sequencing to individual patients could double the diagnostic rates of rare diseases, finds a new study led by researchers from University College London (UCL).A National Health Service (NHS) Genomic Medicine Service, which allows patients with rare diseases to have their entire genetic code read in the hope of providing a much-needed diagnosis, was announced by…
