Potential of plasma metagenomic next-generation sequencing to guide antibiotic therapy in acute necrotizing pancreatitis with early fever: a prospective multicenter cohort study

Indiscriminate antibiotic use remains common in febrile patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), particularly during the early phase. Metagenomic next‑generation sequencing (mNGS) has shown diagnostic utility for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) and may offer a means...

The comprehensive detection of hemoglobinopathy variants via long-read sequencing

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The genetic complexity of hemoglobin genes, characterized by high GC content and homologous sequences, poses significant challenges for detecting hemoglobin variants in clinical settings. METHODS A long-read indexed PCR method utilizing the novel CycloneSEQ na...
