DNA in fringe-lipped bat poop reveals unexpected eating habits

Scienmag

When animals eat, prey DNA travels all the way through animal digestive tracts and comes out again. Poop contains very precise information about the prey […]. For scientists, digging into feces provides insights into animal diets and is particularly useful for understanding nocturnal or rare species.

The future of genomic medicine: can it fulfil its promises?

pharmaphorum

The human genome is too long to be sequenced as one continuous string by current technology – so short-read sequencing breaks DNA into short fragments that are amplified and then sequenced to produce ‘reads’ of around 150 nucleotides in length. To address these issues, scientists and clinicians are starting to look at ‘long-read’ sequencing.

The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

Liquid biopsy tests in oncology involve isolating entities such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor-derived exosomes. The cfDNA that originates from tumors is called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Optimal methods for bioinformatic analysis are still needed. percent show less reliability).
