Here, 30 well-characterized clinical germline samples were studied with adaptive sampling to enrich the full sequence of 152 cancer predisposition genes. Sequencing was performed on Oxford Nanopore (ONT) R10.4.1 MinION flowcells with the Q20+ chemistry.
DiagAI uses inheritance & quality rules based on real diagnostic data, enabling clinicians to understand AI recommendations and collaborate on system improvement.
Solving the structure of mRNA transcripts is a major challenge for both research and molecular diagnostic purposes. Current approaches based on short-read RNA sequencing and RT-PCR techniques cannot fully explore the complexity of transcript structure.
The PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 trial showed that maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab increases survival of advanced ovarian cancer patients with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).
Using nanopore sequencing, we showed the feasibility and impact of rapid genomic screening for managing thrombotic microangiopathies in 18 prospective cases, achieving diagnoses in <3 days. We compared the results with standard exome sequencing, cost efficiency, and complement blockade initiation.
Despite the availability of whole exome (WES) and genome sequencing (WGS), chromosomal microarray (CMA) remains the first-line diagnostic test in most rare disorders diagnostic workup, looking for copy number variations (CNVs), with a diagnostic yield of 10%–20%.
This monocentric study included fifteen children under a year old in intensive care with suspected monogenic conditions for rapid trio exome sequencing (rES) between April 2019 and April 2021.
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 inhibitor (PARPi) agents can improve progression-free survival of patients with breast cancer who carry a germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant (gBRCA) in both the metastatic and adjuvant setting.
Retrospective interpretation of sequenced data in light of the current literature is a major concern of the field. Such reinterpretation is manual and both human resources and variable operating procedures are the main bottlenecks.
The huge body of publicly available RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries is a treasure of functional information allowing to quantify the expression of known or novel transcripts in tissues.
The evolution of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has led to increased focus on RNA-Seq. Many bioinformatic tools have been developed for RNA-Seq analysis, each with unique performance characteristics and configuration parameters.
