Long-read sequencing vs short-read sequencing
WEBJul 26, 2021 · Long-read sequencing. Long-read sequencing technologies are capable of reading longer lengths, between 5,000 and 30,000 base pairs. Therefore, they immediately address one of the main challenges faced by short-read sequencing. They sequence a single molecule, eliminating amplification bias, and …
What is multiplex PCR? - Front Line Genomics
WEBJul 26, 2021 · Multiplex PCR is a technique whereby PCR is used to amplify several different DNA sequences simultaneously. It is a type of target enrichment approach. It was first described in 1988 as a method to detect deletion mutations in the dystrophin gene – the largest known human gene. The dystrophin complex connects the …

Sample Preparation for NGS – A Comprehensive Guide
WEBAug 21, 2024 · Step #3: Amplification. This is an optional step, but it is usually required. It is dependent on the application of NGS and the sample size. Amplification becomes essential to obtain enough coverage for reliable sequencing for samples with small amounts of starting material.
Meet EVE – a variant prediction model - Front Line Genomics
WEBOct 28, 2021 · An AI tool called EVE. In a recent study, published in Nature, researchers proposed an approach that leverages deep generative models to predict variant pathogenicity without relying on labels. The team specifically modelled the distribution of sequence variation across organisms and then used them to …
A longstanding mystery: How do identical twins arise?
WEBOct 1, 2021 · Scientists have discovered DNA methylation differences that are unique to identical twins, helping to unravel the exact molecular events that lead to division of a zygote.. Monozygotic twins, or identical twins, result from the fertilisation of a single egg with a single sperm.At some point during the very early pre-implantation stages of development, the zygote divides into two embryos.
