Microbiomics

So, you want to learn more about your microbiome?

Microbiomes are complicated and if you want to understand them you better start with good data

Oncology

Structural variant based MRD testing is coming to an oncologist near you

Structural Variants: What are they good for? MRD testing, actually.

Genetics

De novo mutations are more common than we previously thought

There’s more to de novo mutations (DNMs) than just SNPs and indels.

Oncology

Will Ultima's ultra cheap bases be a major boon to MRD?

Ultima Genomics is put to the test in MRD

High-Throughput Sequencing

The 'plus and minus' method: Fred Sanger's first attempt at DNA sequencing

Frederick Sanger invented a famous DNA sequencing method. It's not the one pictured below (which he also invented).

HOT TAKE: Illumina sees signals that the sequencing market is recovering

High-Throughput Sequencing

Automated sanger sequencing's fluorescent beginnings

We ‘completed’ the human genome in 2003, thanks mostly to commercial industrial engineering.

RNA

Direct RNA sequencing might tell us about more than just the bases

Post-transcriptional modifications: Why sequencing RNA directly is the future of transcriptomics

Transcriptomics

Transcriptomics is better with long-reads

Spoiler Alert: The holy grail of transcriptomics is long-reads.

Will PacBio's new chemistry SPRQ renewed interest in clinical long-reads?

High-Throughput Sequencing

Checking your metrics is an important piece of the sequencing process

High throughput sequencing metrics: Don't be a monster, review them before sending data to the triage team.

High-Throughput Sequencing

Let the Nanopore Wars begin: BGI has a new nanopore sequencer

The Nanopore Wars are coming and BGI just fired the first salvo in what is sure to be an exciting conflict

High-Throughput Sequencing

Q-scores, what they mean, and why sometimes bigger isn't necessary

High throughput sequencing metrics: Q-scores, what are they good for?

High-Throughput Sequencing

Being accurate about sequencing accuracy

High throughput sequencing metrics: Let’s be accurate about accuracy.

High-Throughput Sequencing

In 2009, high throughput sequencing gave us our first glimpse of the 3-D organization of the DNA in our nuclei

While chromosomes are usually depicted as X's, they actually spend most of their time jumbled up like a giant ball of yarn.
