Alzheimer's Disease Meta-Analysis Identifies Novel Differentially Methylated Loci
Combined data from six Alzheimer's studies identified differential DNA methylation in different brain regions and across the cortex.
NIH, Genomics England Launch Large-Scale Human Genome Sequencing Studies Using Nanopore Technology
The research projects will use Oxford Nanopore Technologies' PromethIon 48 instrument to sequence genomes of patients with dementia and cancer, respectively.
Alzheimer's Disease Genomes Lead to Novel Loci Involved in Synaptic Function
Starting with genome sequences for thousands of individuals from Alzheimer's-affected families, researchers found rare disease-associated variants at 13 new loci.
Blood Methylation Analysis, Artificial Intelligence May Detect Alzheimer's Disease Early
The approach applies deep learning and could potentially be used to identify people with early-stage disease when therapies may have more of an effect.
Fauna Bio Gets $373K NIH Grant to Study Animal Genomes for Potential Drug Targets
The company is studying hibernating animals to see if their genomes contain novel biological pathways that could be exploited to counteract complex human diseases.
