The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

When it comes to critical care for newborns, being able to act fast is of the utmost importance, which is why this new DNA tech is so important.

Genetic mutations in human DNA can prevent proteins that perform important functions in the body from being formed correctly. This can lead to serious disorders that cause disease or even disability.

A large-scale genomic investigation has identified new genetic risk factors for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and revealed substantial overlap with pathways that also predispose individuals to ...

Cornell (NY, USA) researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move ...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the oldest and deadliest infectious diseases we know. It commonly impacts the lungs, but can also affect other areas of the body like the spine, brain or kidneys.

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

Researchers at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) in San Diego have successfully applied long-read genome sequencing to reveal the genetic underpinnings of complex psychiatric ...

The last two decades have seen a revolution in scientists' ability to reconstruct the past. This has been made possible ...
