Genome Sequencing Technologies and Nursing

Applying Rapid Genome Sequencing Technologies

of diseases under a variety of scenarios suggest that infectious diseases will continue to negatively impact the health of human populations well into the future (1). Although economic, social, and technological developments will surely influence these projections, the impact of the constantly changing interaction between hosts and infectious agents is rarely considered. Throughout evolutionary...

Genome Sequencing Technologies and Nursing: What Are the Roles of Nurses and Nurse Scientists?

BACKGROUND Advances in DNA sequencing technology have resulted in an abundance of personalized data with challenging clinical utility and meaning for clinicians. This wealth of data has potential to dramatically impact the quality of healthcare. Nurses are at the focal point in educating patients regarding relevant healthcare needs; therefore, an understanding of sequencing technology and utili...

EagleView: a genome assembly viewer for next-generation sequencing technologies.

The emergence of high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies (e.g., 454 Life Sciences [Roche], Illumina sequencing [formerly Solexa sequencing]) has dramatically sped up whole-genome de novo sequencing and resequencing. While the low cost of these sequencing technologies provides an unparalleled opportunity for genome-wide polymorphism discovery, the analysis of the new data types a...

Combining Two Technologies for Full Genome Sequencing of Human

At present, the new technologies of DNA sequencing are rapidly developing allowing quick and efficient characterisation of organisms at the level of the genome structure. In this study, the whole genome sequencing of a human (Russian man) was performed using two technologies currently present on the market - Sequencing by Oligonucleotide Ligation and Detection (SOLiD™) (Applied Biosystems) and ...
