Feb 28th is Rare Disease Day. Do you know that rare diseases aren't actually rare? 1 in 10 people suffer from a rare disease. Do you know that there are ~7000 known rare diseases and that 80% of them have a genetic cause, but only 500 of them have proven treatments? Do you know that besides WGS and WES, RNA sequencing can increase the diagnostic rate of rare diseases? Do you know what's cooler than fragmented transcriptome information - full-length transcript isoforms that tell you just exactly how de novo mutations in the genome result in functional impact? This Rare Disease Day - come hear how #bioinformatics + PacBio Kinnex full-length RNA kit is used to reveal transcriptional changes in rare disease cases! https://lnkd.in/dmDdE_5E

PrecisionLife's study, led by Dr. Sayoni Das, used combinatorial analysis to identify 73 genes associated with long COVID. Genes in severe cases were linked to immune pathways, while fatigue-dominant cases shared genes with ME/CFS, revealing insights into biological mechanisms. TLR4 antagonists, identified as potential treatments, may protect against cognitive impairment. #bioinformatics #computationalbiology #genomics #covid #sarscov2 #GWAS

Bio-IT World: Uncovering new elements in rare disease research What’s the cost of genomic elements missed in the sequencing process? When it comes to rare disease, quite a lot. That’s the upshot of a commentary article by Sissel Juul, Vice President of Emerging and Commercial Applications here at Oxford Nanopore Technologies, published in Bio-IT World. The article is well worth a read for anyone interested in the rare disease space, but if you don’t have time, we’ve summarised some highlights below. What’s missing matters The genome reference assembly produced by the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium includes regions that have never been represented in prior references. This 8% of the genome encompasses genomic elements such as segmental duplications, repeat expansions, and pseudogenes that will be important not just for understanding biology, but also for clinical use in the future https://lnkd.in/gymmzE9k

The study introduces a new method called targeted accurate RNA consensus sequencing (tARC-seq) to precisely detect rare RNA mutations in SARS-CoV-2. It aims to monitor replication errors to better understand the virus's evolution. The findings reveal an average error rate and specific mutation biases in the virus's genome. The study identifies genomic regions more susceptible to errors and provides insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of SARS-CoV-2. 🧬🦠 #SARSCoV2 #RNASequencing #ViralEvolution #MutationAnalysis

The study introduces a new method, tARC-seq, to accurately identify mutation frequency and types in SARS-CoV-2. It reveals that RNA replication errors contribute to the virus's evolution, highlighting hotspots and cold spots in the genome. The findings provide valuable insights into the genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics of the virus. 🧬🦠 #SARSCoV2 #GeneticDiversity #EvolutionaryDynamics

Digital telomere measurement by long-read sequencing distinguishes healthy aging from disease Telomere length is an important biomarker of organismal aging and cellular replicative potential, but existing measurement methods are limited in resolution and accuracy. Here, we deploy digital telomere measurement by nanopore sequencing to understand how distributions of human telomere length change with age and disease. We measure telomere attrition and de novo elongation with unprecedented resolution in genetically defined populations of human cells, in blood cells from healthy donors and in blood cells from patients with genetic defects in telomere maintenance. We find that human aging is accompanied by a progressive loss of long telomeres and an accumulation of shorter telomeres. In patients with defects in telomere maintenance, the accumulation of short telomeres is more pronounced and correlates with phenotypic severity. We apply machine learning to train a binary classification model that distinguishes healthy individuals from those with telomere biology disorders. This sequencing and bioinformatic pipeline will advance our understanding of telomere maintenance mechanisms and the use of telomere length as a clinical biomarker of aging and disease. https://lnkd.in/gXbmfDY6
