This Week in PLoS: Apr 27, 2009

Apr 27, 2009

In work published in PLoS Computational Biology this week, scientists have created a catalog of clinical phenotypic features of 174 disease genes in human mitochondria. Their calculations showed that genes sharing more similar phenotypes have a stronger tendency for functional interactions, and they predict 168 high-probability disease candidates.

Target Enrichment NGS Panel Outperforms the Gold Standard for Sequence and CNV Analysis

Target enrichment has been a major driver behind the clinical adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) over the last decade because it simplifies analysis and provides a cost-effective method of massive parallel resequencing. It has not only replaced Sanger sequencing, but it is actively dispensing the need for parallel copy number variant (CNV) analysis using classic techniques.
