Blood Lipid Levels Linked to Rare Long, Noncoding RNA Variants in TOPMed Cohort
With this whole-genome sequence data, researchers unearthed associations between blood lipid levels and dozens of rare variants in long noncoding RNAs.
Diagnostics Developer Early is Good Raises $4M in Seed Funding
The company will use the funds to complete clinical trials for its first product, BCDx, a laboratory-developed test for early bladder cancer detection.
While short-read sequencing is still essential for studying RNA and gene expression, new methods are providing a sharper picture of transcript variants.
NCI Grants $1.9M to Roswell Park to Study Molecular Race-Based Breast Cancer Disparities
The grant will fund an investigation into long noncoding RNA and the role it plays in differing prognoses between Black and white breast cancer patients.
A new sequencing-based method developed by Duke University's Kate Meyer is one of several that can detect RNA methylation without the use of antibodies.
