Featured Article: Twist exome capture allows for lower average sequence coverage in clinical exome sequencing

New Content ItemWe compared the coding sequence coverage and sensitivity of SNV detection of the Twist V1 exome capture kit with other commonly used exome kits, as well as with short-read (SR) and long-read (LR) whole-genome sequencing (WGS) approaches. Our results show that the Twist exome capture kit has improved coverage and uniformity across coding regions in comparison to other exome capture kits; almost as good as SR-WGS. Even with decreased average coverage of 70×, there is only minimal loss in sensitivity for SNV and CNV detection. We conclude that exome sequencing with Twist represents a significant improvement and could be performed at lower average sequence coverage.

Aims and scope

Human Genomics is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the application of genomic analysis in all aspects of human health and disease, as well as genomic analysis of drug efficacy and safety, and comparative genomics.

Call for Papers: Multi-omics approaches to unravel gene-environmental interactions in noncommunicable diseases

Guest Editors:
Tesfaye B. Mersha, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, USA
Daniel Enquobahrie, University of Washington, USA

The purpose of this Collection is to identify and describe developments, challenges and opportunities related to the integration of environmental exposure data with -omics data in population studies.

Call for Papers: Personalized Nutrition and Healthy Living from a Genomic Perspective

Guest Editors:

Unhealthy diet has been attributed as an important risk factor for the development and progression of chronic non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cancer. Personalized nutrition aims to enhance human health by tailoring dietary recommendations to individuals using lifestyle, genetic, phenotypic, medical, nutritional and other information.

Wastewater surveillance falls within the broad category of environmental surveillance. It can assess the presence or quantity of a chemical or biological signal in a pooled sample of sewage, taken for example from the sewer network or a wastewater treatment plant, to obtain information on various aspects of public health and human behavior. We seek to create a collection of recent studies addressing various key questions in relation to mapping the wastewater genome towards the understanding of human infections disease.
