MethPhaser: methylation-based long-read haplotype phasing of human genomes

Nature Communications
The assignment of variants across haplotypes, phasing, is crucial for predicting the consequences, interaction, and inheritance of mutations and is a key step in improving our understanding of phenotype and disease.

Evaluation of multiplex nanopore sequencing for Salmonella serotype prediction and antimicrobial resistance gene and virulence gene detection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
In a previous study, Multiplex-nanopore-sequencing based whole genome sequencing (WGS) allowed for accurate in silico serotype prediction of Salmonella within one day for five multiplexed isolates, using both SISTR and SeqSero2.

Bridging the gap: Multi‐stakeholder perspectives of molecular diagnostics in oncology

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Although molecular diagnostics is transforming cancer care, implementing novel technologies remains challenging. This study identifies unmet needs and technology requirements through a two‐step stakeholder involvement. Liquid biopsies for monitoring applications and predictive biomarker testing emerge as key unmet needs. Technology requirements vary by

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Transcriptome analysis of interna rootlets of the rhizocephalan Parasacculina sinensis reveals potential mechanisms of parasite host control

BMC Genomics
Background The endoparasitic rhizocephalan Parasacculina sinensis has a radically simplified morphology and primarily infests decapods crustaceans. Rhizocephalan barnacles usually absorb nutrients from the host through a complex rootlet system (the ...

Nanopore-Based Target Sequence Detection

PLOS ONE, 2016
The promise of portable diagnostic devices relies on three basic requirements: comparable sensitivity to established platforms, inexpensive manufacturing and cost of operations, and the ability to survive rugged field conditions. Solid state nanopores can meet all these requirements, but to achieve high manufacturing yields at low costs, assays must be
