100,000 Genomes Project
New Mutational Signatures Detected in Cancers Profiled for UK's 100K Genomes Project
Researchers analyzed genome sequences from 18,640 tumors profiled for the 100kGP and other efforts, leading to dozens of substitution signatures and a new signature detection algorithm.
The service will offer whole-genome sequencing to English patients with rare diseases and cancer as part of routine care.
High Genetic Diversity Found Among Nilo-Saharan Speakers in New Study
The study, which sequenced the genomes of 50 Nilo-Saharan speakers, also uncovered signs of selective sweeps that could represent environmental adaptations.
