Rockefeller Foundation Funds Global Pathogen Sequencing With $20M, Forms Collaborations
The funding and alliances mark the first step in the foundation's establishment of a pandemic prevention institute, which will collaborate with similar efforts elsewhere.
Illumina, GeneDx Partner With University of Washington on Whole-Genome Sequencing Study in Kids
The SeqFirst study will use whole-genome sequencing to help diagnose critically ill infants and children suspected of having developmental differences.
Red Blood Cell Traits Linked to New Loci With Whole-Genome Sequencing Data
Using sequencing data for almost 62,700 individuals, researchers found new coding and non-coding variants associated with seven quantitative red blood cell features.
Haplotype-Resolved Human Genomes Help Complete Picture of Structural Variants
With a long-read sequencing and de novo genome assembly strategy, investigators found structural variants and hotspots that have been missed in the past.
The aim is to improve the accuracy of the protein measurements commonly reported as the output of proteomic experiments and uncover obscured biological signals.
