New structural variation sequencing reads long stretches of fetal DNA to pinpoint duplications, flips, and rearrangements, ...

Do you want to get the most complete data possible on your infant’s genetic makeup—a sequence of the whole genome? Someday genome sequences may be routine or state-mandated for infants, like the ...

Within a few days of being born, more than 300,000 Australian babies a year have a spot of their blood analyzed to screen for a range of serious but treatable health conditions. The aim of this ...

When it comes to finding answers, every moment counts—especially in critical care settings like the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU). Although rapid genetic tests, whether ...

A new Guinness World Record for fastest whole human genome sequencing has been achieved, with researchers breaking down a patient's genetic profile in less than four hours. The 3-hour 57-minute ...

Boston Children's Hospital, along with Broad Clinical Labs and Roche Sequencing Solutions, has demonstrated that rapid genomic sequencing and interpretation are achievable in a matter of hours. This ...

In 1995, with the Human Genome Project underway, sequencing was all the rage. Scientists working on the project cloned short fragments of the whole genome and used Sanger sequencing to determine the ...

If you’re pregnant or have recently welcomed a baby, you may have heard about the Generation Study - a landmark UK research project that aims to transform the future of children’s health. But what is ...
