New AI Method Makes it Possible to Analyse Cancer Genomes from FFPE Tissue Samples
Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) method that could unlock a research ‘treasure trove’ of cancer genomes from billions of preserved tissue samples stored routinely at hospitals over decades.
The new method makes it possible for the first time...
Biobank Data Reveals African Ancestry is Less Likely to Identify High-Risk Individuals Through Polygenic...
An international research consortium led by the University of Helsinki has performed the largest study to date evaluating the transferability of genome-wide polygenic risk scores across ancestries. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) measure genetic disease susceptibility by combining risk effects...
Would Biobanking be Efficacious to Revolutionize the Medical World?
We live in a world that is being transformed by the scientific revolution. Traditionally, biobank was a term used to describe a biorepository for biological tissues. Today, biobanks are used in a much broader context and are used to...
Million Veteran Program Extends Personalis Sequencing Contracts To Almost 80,000 Human Genomes
Personalis, Inc., founded in 2011, based in Silicon Valley, a provider of advanced genomic sequencing and analytics for immuno-oncology, has announced an extension to their contract with the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to sequence a further 34,000...
