Epigenetic Sequencing Using Enzymatic Detection Method

Investigators at the University of Pennsylvania’s (UPenn) Perelman School of Medicine have provided a novel method for sequencing epigenetic modifications using 1,000-fold less DNA than the current gold standard technique. The UPenn researchers believe that their novel method could pave the way for better detection of cancer and other diseases in the blood. Findings from the new study were published recently in Nature Biotechnology through an article titled “ Nondestructive, base-res
