Genomic Fingerprinting Helps Predict Prostate Tumor Aggressiveness
Next-generation sequencing is revealing genomic heterogeneity in localized prostate cancer (CaP), but incomplete sampling of CaP multiclonality has limited the implications for molecular subtyping, stratification, and systemic treatment. More...06 Oct 2016
Extended Multilocus Sequence Typing Developed for Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira that can be carried naturally by most mammalian species and transmission to humans most commonly occurs via direct animal contact or via water contaminated with animal urine. More...05 Oct 2016
Genetic Cause Deciphered for Inherited Nerve Damage Afflicting Older Adults
An international team of researchers has identified a gene, MME, with a causative link to late-onset autosomal dominant axonal polyneuropathies. Patients initially develop loss of sensation and pain, then the illness can advance rapidly and lead to paralysis, inability to walk, and wheelchair dependency. More...05 Oct 2016
New Genes Implicated in High Blood Pressure Regulation
High blood pressure, or hypertension, affects one in three adults in the USA, according to the government authorities. The condition increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, but most people with high blood pressure are not aware they have it. More...27 Sep 2016
New Standardized Whole Genomes Released to Improve Quality Control
Researchers have expanded the set of tools for more accurate next generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of genomes by developing 4 additional reference materials (RMs) to run as controls for assessing performance of the equipment, chemistry, and data analysis being used. More...26 Sep 2016
Test Developed for Healthcare-Acquired Infections Validated
Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) kill tens of thousands of people each year and add significantly to healthcare costs. Multidrug resistant and epidemic strains are a large proportion of HAI agents, and multidrug resistant strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, a leading HAI agent, have become an urgent public health crisis. More...22 Sep 2016
