Researchers at Semmelweis University show that the standard human reference genome can cause automated whole-genome analyses ...

The greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, has quietly become one of the most useful small workhorses in infection biology. Its larvae are cheap to rear, produce large numbers of offspring, complete ...

Scientists have sequenced the complete genome of a roundworm used extensively in biological research, opening a new pathway for synthetic biologists to build and test genetic changes in a ...

New research from the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is tackling a complex packing problem. Thanks to the development of a powerful new computational tool introduced in a study published in the ...

Researchers have long known that cancer alters its genome as it evolves. What has been less clear is how, when, and why genomic structures change as cancer progresses. A new Yale study published Aug.

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level. In a ...

Last time, we organized information about the FASTQ files output by sequencers.FASTQ files record the base sequence and ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

CHICAGO --- In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed ...
