• Scripps launches whole genome sequencing study to find root causes of idiopathic diseases

  Scripps Health announced today it has launched a clinical research study that is using whole genome sequencing to help determine the causes of idiopathic human diseases - those serious, rare and perplexing health conditions that defy a diagnosis or are unresponsive to standard treatments.The use of more

• Rice's origins point to China, genome researchers conclude

  Rice originated in China, a team of genome researchers has concluded in a study tracing back thousands of years of evolutionary history through large-scale gene re-sequencing. Their findings, which appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), indicate that domesticated rice may more

• Gene fusion mechanisms offer new clues to origin of pediatric brain tumors

  A detailed analysis of gene fusions present at high frequency in the most common pediatric brain tumors has been performed for the first time in a study published in Genome Research, shedding new light on how these genomic rearrangements form in the early stages of cancer. Genomic rearrangements, ge more

• Metagenomics Analysis Using the Genome Sequencer FLX System
  

  The Genome Sequencer FLX System from 454 Life Sciences and Roche Applied Science is a versatile sequencing platform suitable for a wide range of applications, including de novo sequencing and assembly of genomic DNA, transcriptome sequencing, small RNA analysis, and amplicon sequencing. The Genome Sequencer FLX is built upon 454 Sequencing technology that enables long read lengths and very high single-read accuracy. One application in which the technology is accelerating the field's understanding is metagenomics. more

• The New Genome Sequencer FLX System
  

  In 2005, the Genome Sequencer 20 System was introduced into the global life science market. Based on the revolutionary 454 sequencing technology, this system is able to generate hundreds of thousands of sequence reads in a few hours at a fraction of costs compared with the traditional Sanger technology. more
