Cell-Free DNA Sequencing Confirms Myelodysplastic Syndrome Diagnosis
The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods to analyze cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) in the blood of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) yields more accurate results than the current standard approach of Sanger sequencing. More...25 Aug 2016
Simple Sensitive Assays Used for Analyzing Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X syndrome, the most common heritable cause of intellectual disability and a frequent cause of autism, is characterized by abnormalities of the fragile X mental retardation 1gene (FMR1) that are difficult to analyze. More...25 Aug 2016
Droplet Digital PCR Rapidly Detects Alpha-Thalassemia Variants
Alpha (α)-thalassemia is a highly prevalent genetic disease worldwide and it is characterized by various degrees of alpha globin chain deficit caused by either deletional or non-deletional mutations although the former are more common. More...24 Aug 2016
Parkinson's Disease Risk Indicators Found in Diverse Tissues
Tiny changes in DNA that have been linked to Parkinson's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's, were found not only in brain cells, where they were expected, but also in liver, fat, immune and developmental cells. More...18 Aug 2016
Biomarker of Aggressive Prostate Cancer Discovered
The level of a specific molecule present in prostate tumors is an indicator of whether the cancer is aggressive and likely to spread and this will aid future clinical tests to help doctors decide how best to treat prostate tumors. More...18 Aug 2016
Sequins As Novel Internal Controls to Improve Genomic Analysis
Researchers have developed an intuitive technology called “Sequins” – synthetic “mirror” DNA sequences that reflect the human genome and can be used to better map, navigate, and analyze complexity within the genome. Currently human genome Sequins are freely available for research. More...

Novel Gene Discovered for Hereditary Colon Cancer
The formation of large numbers of polyps in the colon has a high probability of developing into colon cancer, if left untreated. The large-scale appearance of polyps is often due to a hereditary cause; in this case the disease can occur in multiple family members. More...08 Aug 2016
