Now, a group of researchers present data that suggests that long-read sequencing may be the better road to go down for these people. The more comprehensive dataset can find variation, eliminate ...

This is partly because current clinical testing uses a method called short-read sequencing, which cannot access information in certain regions of the genome and so may miss crucial evidence to help ...

“Short-read sequencing struggles with certain kinds of sequence variants, so to better capture these, we also used long-read sequencing that reads between 5,000 and 30,000 base pairs at a time ...

Nagpur: The samples of two city kids are now being sent to the National Institute of Virology (NIV) Pune for whole genome sequencing, the results of which are likely to take a longer period.
