Somatic mutations, the DNA changes that occur as our bodies grow and age, not only hold an important key to cancer but are emerging as the seeds of a wide range of common, noncancerous diseases. The ...
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.
Researchers showed that whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, EM-seq, and the biomodal evoC kit are all feasible for DNA methylation profiling of low-input archival FFPE triple-negative breast cancer ...
Researchers at Beijing Genomics and IMDEA Nanociencia institutes have introduced a novel method that could significantly accelerate efficiency and reduce the cost of handling fluidics in DNA ...
A new method called ReadsRatio estimates tissue contributions to circulating cell-free DNA from unmethylated read ratios in ...
When you hear the term "whole-genome sequencing," don't you feel like it allows for a detailed examination of all the DNA ...
Have you ever come across the term "NGS" in articles about cancer gene panel testing or whole-genome analysis?NGS is a technology that reads DNA base sequences in large quantities.While conventional ...
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 ...
Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...
Finding new drugs requires screening vast numbers of compounds to identify those that interact with a biological target.
