TB Sequencing Could Replace Drug Susceptibility Testing
Tuberculosis (TB) is the most deadly infectious disease worldwide, causing 1.6 million deaths in 2017. Drug resistance is a particularly challenging and growing problem: as in 2017, it was estimated that 558,000 new cases of TB were resistant to rifampicin, the most effective first-line drug, and globally, just over half of patients with multi-drug resistant TB are successfully treated.

Nanopore Sequencing Enables Outbreak Field Surveillance
Outbreaks of fever of unknown origin start with nonspecific symptoms and case definition is only slowly developed and adapted, therefore, identifying the causative agent is crucial to ensure suitable treatment and control measures. More...03 Oct 2018


Disease Progression Apprised by Post-Treatment Mutation Sequencing
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The molecular predictors of disease progression after transplantation are unclear. More...26 Sep 2018

DNA Test Predicts Risk of Leukemia Relapse
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults, comprising about one quarter of all cases. The disease stems from an overproduction of immature blood cells in the bone marrow, which over time outgrow normal blood cells. It's a type of cancer, which starts suddenly and progresses quickly, requiring urgent treatment. More...25 Sep 2018
