UPitt is hoping the latest data demonstrating the utility of its 22-gene PancreaSeq test will help drive adoption and reimbursement.
Sequencing Data Helps Elucidate Blood Pressure Ties to Rare Sodium Channel Mutations
Based on genome and blood pressure trait data for thousands of individuals, researchers focused in on sodium channel subunits in the kidney and other body tissue.
Researchers demonstrated that their method, called EDS-HAT, can pick up outbreaks in hospitals that would otherwise remain undetected.
Cystic Fibrosis Sinus Infections Involve Microbes With Shifting Evolution Patterns
While early-stage Pseudomonas aeruginosa sinus infections were marked by selection for aggregating forms of the bug, genetic drift and genome degradation arose later in infection.
