This WebNR will focus on the key attributes of DNA-based microbial testing, which can be usefully broken into 4 Basic Principles. Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell: Why it is important to test (at high resolution ...

The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-based) ...

Use of computer algorithms in the electronic health record to identify and triage primary care patients for hereditary evaluation. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting I.

This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...

Degraded DNA presents a serious limitation for forensic DNA laboratories and is frequently found in cold case evidence, crime scene samples, and unidentified remains related to tragedies from mass ...

A method for parallel sequencing of single-cell extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA) and full-length mRNA transcriptomes has enabled new insights into the roles of ecDNA in cancer progression, ...

David Mittelman spent the majority of his career in genomics, the study of people’s complete sets of DNA. He worked five years on the Human Genome Project, an international scientific effort that ...
