After using the
latest genome sequencing technologies to understand how rust fungi adapt to overcome resistance in crop varieties, scientists from the University of Minnesota, the USDA - ARS Cereal Disease Laboratory, the Australian National University, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the University of Sydney are releasing results with two publications in mBio, a journal by the American Society of Microbiology.
Using
whole genome sequencing technology, researchers from The Netherlands have now succeeded in determining that at least 6.5 % of de novo mutations occur during the development of the child (post-zygotic) rather than from the germline of a parent.
Using
new genome sequencing technologies, the researchers discovered multiple strains of the malaria - causing parasite Plasmodium falciparum that appear to be rapidly expanding throughout the local parasite population in Western Cambodia, a known hotspot for drug resistance.
Recent advances in DNA capture and
genome sequencing technology are now making it possible to fish DNA fragments out of fossil remains to help put those evolutionary family trees together.
This work was carried out with funding from the Association for International Cancer Research (United Kingdom), the Lymphoma Research Foundation (USA) and the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Spain), and illustrates how new
genome sequencing technologies are revolutionizing the study of different types of cancer.

SciLifeLab has joined the Illumina Genome Network (IGN) to provide researchers with broader access to Illumina's whole
genome sequencing technology.
His laboratory has also discovered and characterized a significant number of novel genes contributing to autism and human neurodevelopmental disorders, and has recently applied whole -
genome sequencing technologies and large - scale genomics datasets to prenatal detection and interpretation of structural variation in the genome.
Advances in Whole
Genome Sequencing Technology.
Genome sequencing technologies have advanced rapidly, dramatically decreasing cost and increasing throughput.
The agency noticed an increase in one rare DNA fingerprint of listeria popping up in the system in August, and, using whole
genome sequencing technology, discovered that four other DNA fingerprints were also closely related genetically and possibly connected to infections that were reported five years ago.
