Telomere Length Linked to Rare Variants, Clonal Hematopoiesis Genes
Using data for almost 490,400 UK Biobank participants, researchers analyzed variants and genes associated with telomere length.
Telo Genomics Gets CLIA Certification for Clinical Laboratory
The certification enables the Canadian cancer testing firm to offer clinical lab services in the US and to distribute its TeloView prognostic products in the US and elsewhere.
Telomere Length in White Blood Cells Linked to Malaria Parasite Exposure in Sub-Saharan Africa
Genetic and environmental factors contributed to leukocyte telomere length, which was shorter in regions with the malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum.
New Nanopore-Based Telomere Profiling Approach Points to Chromosome-Specific Length Variation
Using their "Telomere Profiling" method, researchers identified telomere length differences specific to human chromosome ends across individuals from a wide age range.
By tuning the basecaller with accurate telomere data, researchers were able to correct extensive repeat-calling errors in telomeres by nanopore sequencing.
