UrduIn decades past, scientists have been unable to conclusively identify human-associated microbes in samples collected above 26,000 feet. This study marks the first time that next-generation gene sequencing technology has been used to analyze soil from such a high elevation on Mount Everest, enabling researchers to gain new insight into almost everything and anything that’s in them.

Next-generation sequencing of community-based COVID-19 samples to detect emerging variants
Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago are offering free rapid diagnostic testing for COVID-19 in vulnerable Chicago communities and performing genomic sequencing on the samples to identify variants.
Hopkins-Led Research Team Takes Gene Mutation Detection in Blood to the Next Level
Next-generation gene sequencing (NGS) technologies —in which millions of DNA molecules are simultaneously but individually analyzed— theoretically provides researchers and clinicians the ability to noninvasively identify mutations in the blood stream. Identifying such mutations enables earlier diagnosis of cancer and can inform treatment decisions. Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers developed a new technology to overcome the inefficiencies and high error rates common among next-generation sequencing techniques that have previously limited their clinical application.
New sequencing approach finds triple-negative breast cancers continue accumulating genetic changes during tumor growth
A new DNA sequencing approach developed by MD Anderson researchers overcomes technical challenges with earlier techniques to give deeper insights into breast cancer evolution.
UNC Researchers Look to Next Generation Genetic Sequencing for Deeper Understanding of COVID-19
Next generation genetic sequencing – or next generation sequencing (NGS) – is becoming more common in research, although it still isn’t widely available. At the UNC School of Medicine, it is part of a research collaboration to better understand viral lung infections, including COVID-19 – the novel coronavirus sweeping the world.
