2nd generation DNA sequencing meets functional genomics

introduction of the first 2nd generation DNA sequencing method five years ago heralded a paradigm shift and propelled us into a new era [1]. In contrast to the Sanger sequencing method that dominated DNA sequencing for nearly 30 years [2], 2nd generation sequencing analyzes clonal representations of the input DNA. Using highly parallel processing in microfluidic devices and stepwise addition of...

Health informatics meets eHealth.

Health informatics develops methods and tools that should, when applied to health care, contribute to a high-quality, efficient care of individuals and populations [1]. The translation of health informatics research into practice can be seen as a “continuum” from IT development to healthcare problem solving [2], starting with developing and validating early solutions (tools, algorithms, technol...
