Long-Read Sequencing, also known as third-generation sequencing, is a class of DNA sequencing methods which are currently under active development. In contrast to other existing methods of DNA sequencing the process of long-read sequencing does not require breaking long strands of DNA, but simply reading the nucleotide sequences at a molecule level.
An extensively debated concern about CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is that unspecific guide RNA (gRNA) binding may induce off-target mutations. However, accurate prediction of CRISPR-Cas9 off-t...
The microbiome has emerged as a major contributor to human health and disease. Numerous sources implicate shifts in the gut microbiome as potentially pathologic for a variety of autoimmune d...
