Whole-Genome Sequencing in Cancer

Whole Genome Sequencing in Cancer Clinics

Patients with a family history of cancer are being evaluated with consistentwith a RTS diagnosis. Themissense variant PRSS1 p.N29I is presingle-gene or gene panel tests (LaDuca et al., 2014). The decreasing cost and potential to provide comprehensive genetic risk assessment makes whole genome sequencing (WGS) an attractive tool for understanding the genetic risk for cancer (Collins and Hamburg,...

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

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...
