Dr Eric Londin, Assistant Professor, Thomas Jefferson University, USA, stated that analysis of 44 exome datasets from four different testing kits showed that they missed a high proportion of clinically relevant regions in the 56 ACMG genes. "At least one gene in each exome method was missing more...Tags: Exome, WGS, Sequencing, Clinical, omics, diagnostics

Illumina reveals first dataset of long reads
With the help of Moleculo technology , acquired by Illumina releases new service for long reads sequencing i.e., FastTrack Long Reads. Average read length is around 8,500 base pairs in release dataset. Best thing about this, there is not much effect on cost and quality of data. ...Tags: Illumina, Moleculo, long reads, sequencing

Your stress/depression came from ancestor
"A study published in Nature Neuroscience finds that stress in early life alters the production of small RNAs, called microRNAs, in the sperm of mice. The mice show depressive behaviours that persist in their progeny." Source: http://www.nature.com/news/sperm-rna-carries-marks-of-trau...Tags: Neuroscience, sequencing, micro RNA
