Proof-of-Principle Study Points to Possibility of Monitoring Pediatric ALL With Plasma Samples
Capture-based blood plasma sequencing helped track disease persistence or relapse and identify microbes that may cause infection in the immunosuppressed patients.
Ancient Carpathian Basin Genetic Study Spells Out Population Dynamics During Avar Period
With genomic data for dozens of ancient individuals, researchers retraced population dynamics around 1,500 years ago, including long-range migrations to the region.
Ancient Genomes from Bohemia Point to Complex Population Encounters in Central Europe
With 271 new or previously sequenced genomes from Bohemia, researchers followed population dynamics in the region between some 3,600 to 6,900 years ago.
Twist Bioscience, Biotia Nab FDA EUA for Hybridization-Based NGS SARS-CoV-2 Assay
The hybridization-based test may provide better detection of emerging COVID-19 variants of concern, due to a higher tolerance for probe mismatches than in PCR.
