A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...

Over the last 10 years, breakthroughs in understanding the genetic instructions passed from parent to offspring have put researchers closer than ever before to efficiently decoding DNA with 100% ...

In collaboration with the International Conference on Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB), Genome Research publishes a collection of 20 computational methods and their applications in ...

A dendritic cell and a T-cell are depicted dancing in the foreground, under the dazzling lights reflected from a disco ball. In the background, a malignant cancer cell is depicted dancing with another ...

Producing reference genomes for all known eukaryotic species (~1.8 million) over the next decade is a daunting task. But the Earth BioGenome Project is hoping to do exactly that. Two separate projects ...

AI can now create genome viruses in laboratories and redesign toxins to evade controls, raising biosafety alert and rise of ...
