ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/06/20262) The project will use the Oxford Nanopore Technology. It will read 3 billion DNA letters per person as they go through a minuscule opening (a nanopore) one by one. They plan to do 30 readouts per person on average to reduce errors. 170
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/06/20263) DecodeME answered two broad questions: - Is ME/CFS genetic? Does it have a genetic predisposition? The answer is yes. - What physiological system is most affected? Turns out it's the nervous system. 2122
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/06/20264) The question for SequenceME is: Are there genes that are commonly broken in people with ME/CFS that increase the risk of the disease? Answering this question will provide stronger evidence that may help to identify different types of ME/CFS and targeted treatments. 1100
