The Human Genome Project began in 1990 as an ambitious $3 billion scientific effort to map the roughly 3 billion DNA base ...

Sequencing the human genome was once thought to be the key to understanding genetic diversity and disease, but gene ...

When scientists strung together the first human genome more than 20 years ago, it was a historic moment for science and humanity. Fast-forward to today’s clinic — sequencing a human genome is no ...

A new study has characterized the "average" human genome, providing key information on normal human genetic variation and ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Using native long-read nanopore sequencing, researchers have simultaneously mapped 5mC and 5hmC across the whole genome of ...

Ultima Genomics, Inc., a developer of ultra-high-throughput sequencing systems, today announced the commercial launch of paired-end sequencing on its UG200™ Series and the availability of Solaris™ 2.0 ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this unprecedented scale ...
