A MAJOR international scientific collaboration bringing together the University of Guyana and leading research institutions ...

Recent scientific advances have made genome editing technologies—a suite of biological tools for making precise additions, deletions, and alterations to the DNA and RNA of living cells– more rapid, ...

Genomic data is growing at an unprecedented rate. Two decades ago, sequencing the first human genome was a landmark achievement, generating around 200 gigabytes of data — an amount now easily handled ...

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf have developed a tool that could significantly transform genome research: Helixer identifies genes directly from DNA ...

A newly published paper in Nature describes the complex process of launching a nine-country collaboration in Africa to ...

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

This image illustrates the typical steps in next-generation sequencing (excluding single-molecule sequencing methods). The process begins with isolating genomic DNA (a) and breaking it into short ...

Arun Durvasula has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Science. Sitting in my doctor’s examination room, I was surprised when she told me, “Genetics ...

The sequencing of the human genome has created an unprecedented opportunity to apply new knowledge and technology to improve human health. The goal of the CCTS Genomic & Precision Medicine Special ...
