A new study highlights how a more diverse pangenome could help reduce misleading genetic findings and improve the future of ...

Genetic information may play an increasingly important role in the personalized preventive medicine of the future.

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

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 ...

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.

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, ...

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 ...
