The firm has made adjustments to the Slide-tags method, including reducing the workflow to just one hour, in addition to the time required for single-cell sequencing.
Multimodal Cell-Free DNA Test May Help Detect Cancer Early in Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Patients
Researchers analyzed cfDNA from blood focusing on genomic, fragmentomic, and epigenomic features linked to cancer in individuals with germline TP53 mutations.
Initial results from a multinational rapid WGS newborn screening program are promising, though organizers hope to create a longitudinal study to support potential clinical uptake.
Blood Pressure Genetic Variants Linked to Regulatory Functions, Cardiovascular Pathways
Using massively parallel reporter assays and other approaches, researchers explored the functional effects of blood pressure-associated variants and narrowed in on causal variants.
