Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

After sequencing fragments of DNA to obtain reads, most genomic pipelines follow one of two steps. The reads can be de novo assembled to construct longer stretches called contigs from scratch, with ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is widely used for microbiome analysis due to its high-throughput and cost-effective nature. NGS utilizes short read lengths, which allow for more efficient and ...

Microbiome standards are imperative for profiling and analyzing microbial communities. In many cases, a lack of proper controls or comparison to microbiome reference materials means that important and ...
