  • New DNA Test Easily Diagnoses Difficult-To-Detect Mutations

    Diagnostics World | Researchers in Australia played a leading role in development of a DNA-based test to catch what short-read Illumina sequencing often misses: long and repetitive genetic variants implicated in about 40 late-onset neurodegenerative and neuromuscular conditions. These highly complex short tandem repeat (STR) expansion disorders, which have proven difficult to profile with any technology, can now be handily diagnosed with Oxford Nanopore Technology (ONT).
