A single base-resolution sequencing methodology that sequences the two most common cytosine modifications in a single workflow

Researchers developed a WGS method that read four canonical DNA bases, viz., adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) plus 5mC and 5hmC, epigenetic variants of unmodified C to yield an accurate six-letter digital readout in a single workflow.

New strategies to beat rare tumors of the adrenal gland

Only one in 100,000 people suffer from a pheochromocytoma, a tumor of the adrenal gland. If the tumor has already metastasized, a radioactive compound can be used to detect malignant cells that have spread to other parts of the body, and to irradiate them from the inside.
