Long-read sequencing is being harnessed to improve the rate of rare disease diagnosis. Researchers at the University of California Santa Cruz (CA, USA) have demonstrated that long-read sequencing (LRS ...

“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.
