A U.K. program—similar to one launched in New York last fall— will begin genome sequencing on 100,000 babies this year to figure out whether screening newborns for a wide range of conditions is ...

Early detection and diagnosis of inherited conditions in newborns and infants can lead to more effective therapies and better health outcomes Early detection and diagnosis of inherited conditions in ...

Natera NTRA announced the commercial launch of Zenith genomics, a next-generation whole genome sequencing assay designed to ...

A new national study has found whole genome sequencing (WGS) to be nearly twice as effective as a targeted gene sequencing test at identifying abnormalities responsible for genetic disorders in ...

A new national study, led by researchers at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, has found whole genome sequencing (WGS) to be nearly twice as effective as a targeted gene sequencing test at identifying ...

A blood test based on whole-genome sequencing achieved 99% sensitivity and specificity for detecting HPV-positive head and neck cancer. Early postoperative detection of circulating tumor DNA predicted ...

Today, without leaving home, you can literally find out what you are made of by ordering a genetic test online. This guide will help you understand the different types of DNA tests, from simple tests ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this technology has not yet been determined. In a new study published in the ...

Until quite recently, it was extremely difficult to detect the variants underlying many genetic disorders. In the absence of a defined cause, clinicians have little to guide treatment for those left ...
