Speedy Long-Read Genome Assembly Enabled by Minimizer-Space Analysis
The minimizer-space de Bruijn graph approach could assemble a human genome in less than 10 minutes using eight cores and 10 gigabytes of random access memory.
The point-of-care system can detect SARS-CoV-2 in unprocessed patient saliva in about an hour, according to the researchers.
The platform is already being used in drug development and could eventually be harnessed to guide therapy selection in at-risk patients.
CRISPR-Based Assay Developed for Genome Editing in Space
The work aboard the International Space Station may help researchers better understand how conditions in space affect DNA damage and repair pathways.
SMART Team Improves Virus Detection Speed With Quantitative CRISPR-Based Isothermal Amplification
Premium
Originally developed to detect contamination of cell therapy products, the method combines CRISPR and PCR technology and can be used to quantify viral loads.
