Congress and the FDA are pushing pharmaceutical companies to replace animals with technology for drug research. That’s a long way off, but startups and industry stalwarts are working to make it happen ...

Cancer is often most dangerous when it hides in the early stages. Detecting it before symptoms appear is one of the biggest challenges in modern medicine.

Thus, HPV-human DNA junction detection in serum cell-free DNA and HPV type determination in tumor tissue may help predict recurrence risk. Screening serum cell-free DNA for junctions may also offer an ...

What Every Mom-to-Be Needs to Know About Cell-Free DNA Screening Cell-free DNA test during pregnancy is a non-invasive test that screens for common chromosomal disorders like Down syndrome.

Abundant single-stranded telomeric DNA distinguishes alternative lengthening of telomeres-positive cells and represents a potential biomarker and therapeutic vulnerability.

PacBio enhances methylation detection in HiFi sequencing by licensing advanced methods, improving insights into DNA modifications.

For the new cell-free DNA testing, a small amount of a person's blood is tested for a large number of cancers. A positive test could indicate that the person has a certain type of cancer in theory ...

Extracting and sequencing cell-free DNA has formed the basis of some screening tests used to detect genetic abnormalities in developing babies, such as Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome).

The researchers found that their approach, which uses signals stored within circulating cell-free DNA sequence data, had 80% sensitivity at predicting whether a pregnant individual would ...
