Tag: sequencingSpeeding Up Diagnosis of Infectious Disease A startup is developing sequencing-based tests that could detect infections within 24 hours. Multiplying DNA One Drop at a Time RainDance Technologies says its method of amplifying DNA in drops of water will expand clinical genetic testing. A startup is developing a new and potentially much cheaper sequencing technology based on microfluidics. Neanderthal Genome Rewrites Human Evolution Genetic evidence suggests there's a little Neanderthal in all of us. Variation in our microbial inhabitants could help tailor efforts to treat illness. How Personal Genomics Could Change Health Care The select few who have had their genomes sequenced learn to use that information for health care. Genetic Clues to Cancer's Spread Sequencing the genomes of both healthy and cancer cells from the same patient hints at how cancer metastasizes. Hunting Disease Origins with Whole-Genome Sequencing Two studies show that complete-genome sequencing can identify disease-causing genes. A Vision for Personalized Medicine Genomics pioneer Leroy Hood says a coming revolution in medicine will bring enormous new opportunities. DNA changes could help doctors see if stray cancer cells remain after treatment. Searching for Disease Clues in Genetic Diversity Research on the Mexican genome could broaden the scope of personalized medicine. Tracking a Superbug with Whole-Genome Sequencing Analysis of MRSA starts to reveal its journey around the globe--and within a hospital. A Turning Point for Personal Genomes Scientists are finally starting to find medical information of value. The Business of Personal Genomes Jorge Conde speaks on the complexities of personal genomics. Tracking the Evolution of a Pandemic Understanding how viruses evolve could help predict the next outbreak. |
