Study Highlights Need for increased genome sequencing accuracy.

2016-03-07 14:31:07| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Published in Genome Medicine, "Medical implications of technical accuracy in genome sequencing" assesses accuracy of modern human-genome-sequencing technologies. This study found that medically significant DNA blueprint portions are situated in complex, hard-to-analyze regions prone to systematic errors. Stanford University and NIST researchers say it is essential to have methods to benchmark performance in all regions that are sequenced for diagnostic or other medical purposes.

NIST Simulates New Method for fast, accurate DNA sequencing.

2016-01-20 14:31:10| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

By pulling DNA molecule through tiny, chemically activated hole in graphene and detecting changes in electrical current, researchers at NIST simulated new concept for rapid, accurate gene sequencing. NIST study, "Nucleobase-functionalized graphene nanoribbons for accurate high-speed DNA sequencing," suggests this method could identify ~66 billion bases/sec with 90% accuracy and 0 false positives. This might prove faster and cheaper than conventional DNA sequencing.
