NEW YORK – A new sequencing study suggests gut microbial communities are individualized and relatively stable over time, though the extent of that genetic stability varies somewhat with the microbial species considered. Researchers from the Netherlands and Israel did metagenomic sequencing on fecal samples from...

NEW YORK – An international group of researchers has shown that low-coverage sequencing can effectively identify novel variants in the genomes of individuals from populations that are currently underrepresented in genomic databases, and can help overcome challenges presented by common genotyping arrays....

Reconstructing the sequence of circular RNAs (circRNAs) from short RNA sequencing reads has proved challenging given the similarity of circRNAs and their corresponding linear messenger RNAs. Previous sequencing methods were unable to achieve high-throughput detection of full-length circRNAs. Here we describe a protocol for...
