whole-genome sequencing

"Doing whole-genome sequencing is a long ways from putting in a movie about your future," she says.

As the science advances, however, the value of whole-genome sequencing to patients will grow.

Those discoveries would have been difficult or impossible without whole-genome sequencing.

The next leap will be to whole-genome sequencing of embryos.

Future analyses will include large, whole-genome sequencing of the data for the two individuals studied in the current report.

Babies might be first in line for whole-genome sequencing.

But the full potential of whole-genome sequencing is unclear.

Another challenge is that whole-genome sequencing generates a tsunami of data.

This last observation suggests that there is a future for the diagnostic use of whole-genome sequencing.

The cost of whole-genome sequencing will continue to plummet.

Whole-genome sequencing is fundamental to understanding the genetic composition of an organism.

For the moment, from a patient perspective, the affected population is pretty small, because few people currently undergo whole-genome sequencing.

Beyond such uses, say experts, whole-genome sequencing might not be the medical miracle that proponents forecast.

He says that when whole-genome sequencing arrives, single-gene patents will be of no use.

Tumor associated copy number changes in the circulation of patients with prostate cancer identified through whole-genome sequencing.

But the cost is falling so fast that whole-genome sequencing could one day be affordable to anyone who can spit into a cup (see chart).

The United States has about 2,500 genetic counselors, not nearly enough to meet the need if whole-genome sequencing becomes widespread.

This gives us a new way to use whole-genome sequencing to rapidly identify the most relevant mutations in human cancers."

Whole-genome sequencing reveals untapped genetic potential in Africa's indigenous cereal crop sorghum.

"After the genome project, we brought the cost [of whole-genome sequencing] down by a million-fold," Church said.

The mutations were discovered when the scientists sifted through data from whole-genome sequencing of malignant melanoma tumors.

Recent advances in genomics, including whole-genome sequencing, and bioinformatics have led to a dramatic increase in studies on the topic.

Ustilago maydis, physical map, bacterial artificial chromosomes, whole-genome sequencing.

The epidemiological study is part of a broader scientific effort, including the first whole-genome sequencing for the hantavirus strain that struck Yosemite last summer.

If whole-genome sequencing can be done cheaply and accurately, it will be used much more widely in drug discovery and clinical practice.
