The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has prepared four seafood reference materials (RMs) for use in food safety and nutrition studies: wild-caught and aquacultured salmon (RM 8256 and RM 8257) and wild-caught and aquacultured shrimp

The complete sequence of a human Y chromosome

August 23, 2023
Author(s)
Arang Rhie, Sergey Nurk, Monika Cechova, Savannah Hoyt, Dylan Taylor, Nathanael David Olson, Justin Zook, Adam Phillippy
The human Y chromosome has been notoriously difficult to sequence and assemble because of its complex repeat structure that includes long palindromes, tandem repeats and segmental duplications1,2,3. As a result, more than half of the Y chromosome is

Recommendations for Setting a Criterion for Assessing Commutability of Secondary Calibrator Certified Reference Materials

August 11, 2023

May 18, 2023
Author(s)
Colleen E. Bryan Sallee, Melissa M. Phillips, Charles Barber, Carolyn Burdette, Laura Wood, Shaun Kotoski
The Food Nutrition and Safety Measurements Quality Assurance Program (FNSQAP) was launched in 2021. FNSQAP was established to assist laboratories in the development and validation of new analytical methods, in improving the quality of their analytical

Variant calling and benchmarking in an era of complete human genome sequences

April 14, 2023
Author(s)
Nathanael David Olson, Justin Wagner, Nathan Dwarshuis, Karen Miga, Marc L. Salit, Justin Zook
Genetic variant calling from DNA sequencing has enabled understanding of germline variation in hundreds of thousands of humans. Sequencing technologies and variant-calling methods have advanced rapidly, routinely providing reliable variant calls in most of
