Novel Genomics Tool Speeds Up Biomedical Discoveries

In the rapidly evolving realm of genomic research, a critical challenge has persisted: ensuring consistency and accuracy in comparing genetic data across numerous studies and researchers. This complexity arises chiefly from the diversity and inconsistency in naming and referencing the foundational building blocks of genomic analysis, known as reference sequences. Addressing this issue head-on, Dr. Nathan Sheffield of the University of Virginia S…
