Second generation noninvasive fetal genome analysis reveals de novo mutations, single-base parental inheritance, and preferred DNA ends

A group of scientists at the Chinese University of Hong Kong explored the limit of noninvasive prenatal testing by performing genome-wide sequencing of maternal plasma DNA at 195× and 270× haploid genome coverages. Combined with the use of a series of bioinformatics filters, fetal de novo mutations could be detected with a positive predictive value thatContinue reading “Second generation noninvasive fetal genome analysis reveals de novo mutations, single-base parental inheritance, and preferred DNA ends”

Proteins in the blood could improve detection of pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal forms of cancer because early stage symptoms are relatively light, often resulting in it being discovered only after spreading to other organs. In order to improve the prognosis of pancreatic cancer, the development of methods for early detection of pancreatic cancer with a blood test is important.Continue reading “Proteins in the blood could improve detection of pancreatic cancer”
