One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

A few years ago, a new NGS platform being announced at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting would not have been a surprise; multiple new instruments entered the NGS arena over ...

There is a revolution taking place in the field of genomics. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is getting faster and less expensive with better computational tools, enabling researchers to sequence ...

In a development that could accelerate the discovery of new diagnostics and treatments, researchers have developed a versatile and low-cost technology for targeted sequencing of full-length RNA ...

Roche's innovative sequencing by expansion (SBX) technology represents a leap forward in next-generation sequencing (NGS), which is playing a vital role in decoding complex diseases like cancer, ...

Protein sequencing presents different challenges than nucleic acid sequencing, meaning that proteomics has yet to benefit as much as genomics from the next-generation sequencing revolution. However, ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost. One ...
