Whole genome sequencing has gone to the dogs

Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing

Next-generation sequencing technology has enabled genome-wide analysis of 5mC nucleotides at single-nucleotide resolution. Previous methods for whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) yielded reduced genomic representation due to required DNA shearing, ligation of methylated sequencing adapters, and bisulfite conversion of unmethylated cytidine residues prior to sequencing. One disadvantage of...

Whole-genome re-sequencing.

DNA sequencing can be used to gain important information on genes, genetic variation and gene function for biological and medical studies. The growing collection of publicly available reference genome sequences will underpin a new era of whole genome re-sequencing, but sequencing costs need to fall and throughput needs to rise by several orders of magnitude. Novel technologies are being develop...

Whole Genome Sequencing: An Efficient Approach in Food Safety Management System

Whole-genome sequencing to control antimicrobial resistance

Following recent improvements in sequencing technologies, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is positioned to become an essential tool in the control of antibiotic resistance, a major threat in modern healthcare. WGS has already found numerous applications in this area, ranging from the development of novel antibiotics and diagnostic tests through to antibiotic stewardship of currently available dru...
