Massively Parallel Sequencing for Genetic Diagnosis of Hearing Loss: The New Standard of Care

TL;DR: Comprehensive genetic testing has become the new standard of care for genetic testing for patients with sensorineural hearing loss and should form the cornerstone of a tiered approach to clinical evaluation of patients with hearing loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics: advances in genetic testing for deafness.

TL;DR: An update on recently discovered human deafness genes and advances in comprehensive genetic testing platforms for deafness are described, both of which have been enabled by new massively parallel sequencing technologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interplay between Nutrition and Hearing Loss: State of Art

TL;DR: These studies support the potential of nutritional therapy for the protection against hearing loss progression, which is especially relevant to the aging process and related quality of life.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sequence Alignment/Map format and SAMtools

TL;DR: SAMtools as discussed by the authors implements various utilities for post-processing alignments in the SAM format, such as indexing, variant caller and alignment viewer, and thus provides universal tools for processing read alignments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.
Journal ArticleDOI

Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome.

Eric S. Lander, +248 more
- 15 Feb 2001 - 
TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome are reported and an initial analysis is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genome Analysis Toolkit: A MapReduce framework for analyzing next-generation DNA sequencing data

TL;DR: The GATK programming framework enables developers and analysts to quickly and easily write efficient and robust NGS tools, many of which have already been incorporated into large-scale sequencing projects like the 1000 Genomes Project and The Cancer Genome Atlas.
