"Now we have a background noise modeling framework that can distinguish between deviations in tumor sequencing data that arise due to inherent noise versus those that arise due to real copy-number ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

The PRRDetect algorithm identifies hidden DNA repair flaws in tumors It helps doctors choose effective therapies based on the tumor’s genetics This advancement brings personalized cancer care closer ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyse long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers’ ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes.

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Cornell (NY, USA) researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...
