In whole-genome assembly, the BAC fragments (red line segments) and the reads from five individuals (black line segments) are combined to produce a contig and a consensus sequence (green line).

it's very likely that everyone will move towards whole-genome sequencing because it will be cost-effective. And what that will allow us to do is to detect unusual features in people's cancers that go ...

In 2018, the cost to sequence a full human genome dropped below $1000 and now, an entire human genome can be sequenced in less than a day. Discover the impact of whole-genome sequencing on rare ...

This test marks Tempus’ first foray into adopting whole-genome sequencing (WGS) as a platform, supporting clinicians with detection of all clinically-relevant variants and advancing the ...

Whole genome sequencing, which is also being used widely to improve treatments of difficult-to-diagnose diseases as well as for genetic screening of newborns, has given hope to patients with ...

A research team has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), termed the NyuWa VNTR Polymorphism Map. The team has generated maps using high ...

Long read sequencing revealed more genetic information in cases of 42 patients with rare diseases while cutting time and cost of diagnoses.
