A decade after becoming the first clinic to offer whole genome sequencing, Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City is pioneering the use of a technology that reveals even more of a person’s genome — called five-base, long-read sequencing.
Kansas City’s Children’s Mercy Hospital debuts a new way of sequencing genes
Dr. Tomi Pastinen, director of Genomic Answers for Kids, led the first clinical study of five-base long read sequencing, recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics. This new method shows doctors more of the genome and can diagnose rare diseases with a single test.

I tried to fact check this bizarre answer on @maddow.msnbc.com by trying to get in contact with DOGE. There’s no phone number or email publicly available. If a Member of Congress couldn’t get in touch with DOGE how do they expect anyone else to?

The child abductions are one of the most horrifying parts of this war. Literally hundreds of thousands detained and "re-educated." Ukrainian kids are showing up on Russian adoption websites.
SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

This contract is highly sensitive. The Yale lab tracking these kids is doing highly sophisticated work. They released an explosive report about 314 kidnapped kids in Dec. The transfer of underlying evidence to Europol has now been interrupted, sources say.
