The Best Thing Since Sliced Tissue

Donnerstag, August 17, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine a few roughly cut slices of bread on a plate. With just those slices, could you picture, in fine detail, the loaf they came from?

Key Points: 
  • This approach, published in the journal Nature Methods, could allow for much deeper understanding of biological tissue samples.
  • This statistical approach harnesses data from the 2D tissue slices and, in the first layer, fits the warped 2D slice onto a 3D model of the tissue.
  • During this process, the GPSA model fills in the spaces between slices with predictions of gene or protein expression for every point throughout the tissue, ultimately generating a 3D "atlas" of the tissue.
  • In addition, when applied to slices taken from the same tissue at different points in time, GPSA can generate atlases that predict how every location within the tissue changes over time.

STAMFORD, Conn., June 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GeneDx (Nasdaq: WGS), a leader in delivering improved health outcomes through genomic and clinical insights, today published a paper in Nature Methods, titled “Multiscale analysis of pangenomes enables improved representation of genomic diversity for repetitive and clinically relevant genes,” in which researchers developed a new computational tool, the PanGenome Research-Tool Kit (PGR-TK), for scalable analysis of clinically relevant genes that were previously too complex to analyze.

Key Points: 
  • The analysis showcased the ability of the PGR-TK to access and interpret 395 challenging but medically relevant genes previously inaccessible.
  • "The PGR-TK implements a novel algorithm that reveals fine structures in complex segmental duplications.
  • This framework is scalable and enables analysis of multiple samples at varying resolution levels by adopting different parameters to facilitate exploratory analysis.
  • “They will also help us expand NIST's Genome in a Bottle benchmarks for understanding accuracy of methods in complex, medically relevant regions of the genome."
