Reference genome and comparative genome analysis for the WHO reference strain for Mycobacterium bovis BCG Danish, the present tuberculosis vaccine [PDF]
Background: Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (M. bovis BCG) is the only vaccine available against tuberculosis (TB). In an effort to standardize the vaccine production, three substrains, i.e. BCG Danish 1331, Tokyo 172-1 and Russia BCG-1 were

A case of recurrent epilepsy-associated rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor with anaplastic transformation in the absence of therapy. [PDF]
Rosette-forming glioneuronal tumor (RGNT) most commonly occurs adjacent to the fourth ventricle and therefore rarely presents with epilepsy. Recent reports describe RGNT occurrence in other anatomical locations with considerable morphologic and genetic ...

Third-generation sequencing techniques and applications to drug discovery [PDF]
There is an immediate need for functional and molecular studies to decipher differences between disease and 'normal' settings to identify large quantities of validated targets with the highest therapeutic utilities. Furthermore, drug mechanism of action and biomarkers to predict drug efficacy and safety need to be identified for effective design of ...

Third-generation sequencing: any future opportunities for PGT?
To investigate use of the third-generation sequencing (TGS) Oxford Nanopore system as a new approach for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).Embryos with known structural variations underwent multiple displacement amplification to create fragments of DNA (average ~ 5 kb) suitable for sequencing on a nanopore.High-depth sequencing identified the ...
