After years of development, the use of nanopore as a sensor to sequence DNA molecules is now a viable and promising possibility. Single base pair detection during DNA transport enables to record ultra-long threads with high parallelization and rates. I will present in this review the current methodologies based on electrical detection and biological nanopores and the new methods based on solid state nanopores and optical detection.

Cerebellar infarction due to atlantoaxial subluxation in spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia-joint laxity type 1 case.

Introduction: Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 1 (SEMD-JL1) is an extremely rare skeletal dysplasia belonging to a group of disorders called linkeropathies. It is characterized by skeletal and connective tissue abnormalities. Biallelic variants in genes encoding enzymes that synthesize the tetrasaccharide linker region of glycosaminoglycans lead to linkeropathies, which exhibit clinical and phenotypic features that overlap with each other.

DNA holds immense potential as an emerging data storage medium. However, the recovery of information in DNA storage systems faces challenges posed by various errors, including IDS errors, strand breaks, and rearrangements, inevitably introduced during synthesis, amplification, sequencing, and storage processes. Sequence reconstruction, crucial for decoding, involves inferring the DNA reference from a cluster of erroneous copies.

Ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis, and screening methods have not been established. Biomarkers based on molecular genetic characteristics must be identified to develop diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for all cancer types, particularly ovarian cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of genetic analysis of cervical and endometrial liquid-based cytology (LBC) specimens for detecting somatic mutations in patients with ovarian cancer.

Shotgun metagenomics offers a broad detection of pathogens for rapid blood stream infection of pathogens but struggles with often low numbers of pathogens combined with high levels of human background DNA in clinical samples. This study aimed to develop a shotgun metagenomics protocol using blood spiked with various bacteria and to assess bacterial DNA extraction efficiency with human DNA depletion. The Blood Pathogen Kit (Molzym) was used to extract DNA from EDTA-whole blood (WB) and plasma samples, using contrived blood specimens spiked with bacteria for shotgun metagenomics diagnostics via Oxford Nanopore sequencing and PCR-based library preparation.

Sabah has the highest prevalence of β-thalassemia in Malaysia, with the Filipino β-deletion as the predominant mutation. Patients with the homozygous Filipino β-deletion exhibit phenotypic heterogeneity due to various genetic modifiers, yet the effects of these modifiers on the clinical phenotype remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of the coinheritance of α-thalassemia, I-γ rs7482144, rs766432, and 5'HS4 rs16912979 polymorphisms on the clinical phenotype of homozygous Filipino β-deletion patients in Sabah.
