Long-Read Sequencing, also known as third-generation sequencing, is a class of DNA sequencing methods which are currently under active development. In contrast to other existing methods of DNA sequencing the process of long-read sequencing does not require breaking long strands of DNA, but simply reading the nucleotide sequences at a molecule level.
Long-read sequencing is transforming the landscape of genomic research, offering exceptional resolution and accuracy in the analysis of complex genetic structures. From research in genetic a...

Genomics, epigenomics and transcriptomics are often thought of as independent fields, but in our clinical practice we use them combined to increase diagnostic yield both for constitutional a...
Silk is essential to the life histories of more than 800,000 species across the arthropod tree of life. Humans have harnessed the ability of a handful of these for use in the sericulture ind...
