Since gene sequencing technology became a key part of the medical and health sciences around a little over a decade ago, we now understand a lot more about the importance of genetic variations.
The researchers also hope to
use gene sequencing technology to compare the brains of those who have died of Alzheimer's with those of people who died without neurological diseases, in the hope of finding DNA sequences of particular microbes in the diseased brains.
«Our attempts to determine the causes behind the disorder were greatly aided
by gene sequencing technology and biocomputational analysis,» adds Dr. Knierim.
By using random series of 30 nucleotides — the building blocks of RNA and DNA — he thought he could give neurons unique barcodes, linking the barcodes across synapses, then create maps of their connections using high -
throughput gene sequencing technology.
Taking advantage of research progress and
advanced gene sequencing technology, Brown University will join a consortium of European researchers for a three - year, $ 2.9 - million study of how fertilization has evolved in flowering plants.
The design and engineering of advanced solid - state nanopore materials could allow for the development of
novel gene sequencing technologies that enable single - molecule detection at low cost and high speed with minimal sample preparation and instrumentation.
Gene - Based Test Can Detect and Monitor Cancer Researchers combined their tests that detect cancer
with gene sequencing technology to create a new test that could screen for cancers, monitor cancer patients for recurrence, and find residual cancer left after surgery.
More than 11 years later, however,
gene sequencing technology has failed to deliver on its promise to revolutionize preventative medicine, and Venter is not happy about it.
