TruPath™ Genome offers more complete genome, with the simplest sample to sequencer workflow, and the new AGBT data demonstrates its accuracy in detecting rare genetic diseases40% increase in output to 35 billion reads,

“Our analyses show that the historical [human Rhinovirus] A genome represents an extinct lineage closely related to HRV A19 and suggests a dynamic turnover of [human Rhinovirus] A genotypes”, the team write.

In 2013, farmers in the highlands of Ethiopia began to notice something unsettling: a familiar variety of wheat was failing in an unfamiliar way. Stems weakened, plants collapsed, and fields that had once held firm against disease were suddenly vulnerable.

By now, it’s firmly established that modern humans and their Neanderthal relatives met and mated as our ancestors expanded out of Africa, resulting in a substantial amount of Neanderthal DNA scattered throughout our genome. Less widely recognized is that some of the Neanderthal genomes we’ve seen have pieces of modern human DNA as well.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has created high-resolution maps of DNA variant activity,

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, where selective loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons drives major motor symptoms,

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Creatures that can change from one form to another are a staple of science fiction: Think werewolves and Transformers. Nature, too, has its shapeshifters, such as dimorphic fungi. While scientists have known for some time that they can reversibly transition between yeast and mycelium forms,

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already carefully arranged in three dimensions long before that critical activation step,

Chiquita Brands International is betting that the next chapter in bananas won’t be entirely written in a lab with gene editing tools—but in the painstaking world of traditional breeding.

Patients reveal persistent gaps in genetic testing, diagnosis, and clinical trial access—and implications for advancing
