cfDNA Testing Accurately Detects Fetal Trisomies in Twin Pregnancies
Results presented in a recently published paper indicated that the performance of cfDNA (cell-free DNA) testing for trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) in twin pregnancy was similar to that reported in singleton pregnancy and was superior to that of the first‐trimester combined test or second‐trimester biochemical testing.

Disease-Related Epigenetic Variations Summarized in New DNA Methylation Atlas
A new DNA methylation atlas summarized a previously unexplored molecular level of human individuality called correlated regions of systemic interindividual variation (CoRSIVs), which may provide a resource for future population-based investigations into how interindividual epigenetic variation modulates risk of disease.

Machine Learning Approach Detects Cancer by Analyzing DNA in Blood Samples
Researchers have described a proof-of-principle approach for the screening, early detection, and monitoring of human cancer based on a machine learning approach that evaluates fragmentation patterns of cell-free DNA across the genome. More...10 Jun 2019


Gene Set Isolated in Transformation of Skin Cells into Embryonic Tissues
A team of developmental biologists identified a set of five genes that is capable of transforming skin cells into pluripotent stem cells and then into all three of the cell types that comprise the early embryo: the embryo itself, the placenta, and the extra-embryonic tissues, such as the umbilical cord.
