For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

ETH Zurich scientists have created “MetaGraph,” a revolutionary DNA search engine that functions like Google for genetic data. By compressing global genomic datasets by a factor of 300, it allows ...

Abstract: Recent advancements in electrochemical detection have created significant opportunities in biosensing, particularly in medical diagnostics and health monitoring, where real-time response, ...

Boston Children's Hospital, along with Broad Clinical Labs and Roche Sequencing Solutions, has demonstrated that rapid genomic sequencing and interpretation are achievable in a matter of hours. This ...

TEL AVIV, Israel & LEHI, Utah & HOUSTON & FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyHeritage, the leading global platform for family history and DNA testing, announced today a landmark move to Whole Genome ...

MyHeritage becomes the first major DNA testing company to fully adopt Whole Genome Sequencing; the upgrade leverages technology by Ultima Genomics and processing at the Gene by Gene lab MyHeritage, ...

The Internet has Google. Now biology has MetaGraph. Detailed today in Nature, the search engine can quickly sift through the staggering volumes of biological data housed in public repositories. “It’s ...

Whole Genome Sequencing reads almost the entire human genetic code, covering around 3 billion base pairs (nucleotides). This is superior to the standard genotyping arrays used by most consumer DNA ...

Naked mole-rats are one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. These burrowing rodents can live for up to 37 years, around ten times longer than relatives of a similar size. But what is the secret ...

Sequencing has filled global archives with vast DNA and RNA reads, but finding signals in that noise has remained out of reach. ETH Zurich’s MetaGraph turns raw sequences into a compressed, full-text ...

Abstract: In DNA sequencing, we often need to infer an unknown sequence from a collection of its corrupted copies. Each copy cannot faithfully tell the truth due to DNA fragmentation, point mutations, ...
