DF-PGT, now possible through massive sequencing techniques

Health Problems

A research team from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), in collaboration with the Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia, has implemented a massive sequencing platform for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for the first time in history. The work adapts the TruSight One (TSO) platform, one of today’s most complete genetic panels, to Double Factor Preimplantation Genetic Testing (DF-PGT). The […]

Satellite imaging techniques may help reduce preventable vision loss

Health Problems

By adapting pattern recognition techniques used to assess satellite images, scientists have devised a novel way to diagnose blinding eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration. Researchers at the Centre for Eye Health at UNSW Sydney have devised a novel approach to classify and diagnose blinding eye diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, by adapting pattern recognition techniques used to assess […]
