A landmark study, titled “How error correction affects polymerase chain reaction deduplication: A survey based on unique molecular identifier datasets of short reads” recently published in ...

Influenza is a global health concern, due to annual epidemics of the disease and its potential to cause a pandemic with novel strain variants. Whole-genome sequencing enables ongoing surveillance and ...

Rapid precision run-on sequencing (rPRO-seq) may help doctors understand disease states and treatment response in real time. Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (FL, USA) have ...

Approaches incorporating rapid or digital PCR, CRISPR, syndromic testing, and multimodal systems reached new milestones this year.

Researchers in China developed a 'one-pot' Cas12i3/Cas13d-based assay, designated OBServe.v2, to discriminate between ASFV ...

DNA sequence analysis software needn't be expensive. For a decade, molecular biologist Kjeld Olesen has spent much of his spare time developing pDRAW32, a free sequence-analysis software package for ...

Meta-analysis of the predictive and prognostic value of erlotinib-related biomarkers in phase III, placebo-controlled trials in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Recommendations of the BioLOGUE ...

Molecular testing, or molecular diagnostics, refers to a group of tests that look at the genetic material in a specimen. It can detect genetic risk factors for certain diseases or provide evidence of ...

Nearly 20% of all cancers and metastases result from gene fusions—chromosomal rearrangements that lead to chimeric transcripts. This makes gene fusion detection critical for accurate diagnosis, ...
