Researchers studied the genetic structure of Viking Age Scandinavian populations, along with migrations and the adoption of Viking culture by non-Scandinavians.
The findings suggested that genomic surveillance of Barrett's esophagus could identify patients who will progress years in advance and enable earlier treatment.
Two new papers have identified thousands of genetic loci with ties to more than two-dozen blood cell traits in individuals from up to five ancestry groups.
In one study, the UK-based firm found that its RaDaR assay detected circulating tumor DNA in lung cancer patients up to a year before standard clinical progression occurred in most of the cases.
The researchers found that WGS can streamline disease diagnosis and used it to discover unknown etiological variants in coding and non-coding genomic regions.
