With almost all of its citizens’ genes already sequenced in a national database, it’s the test case for an ambitious—and, to ...

New data reveals differences in gene activity in the brains of men and women. They start in the womb and evolved millions of ...

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

Researchers set a new world record for the fastest DNA sequencing, completing a whole genome in under four hours—a ...

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, ...

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, ...

For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can run in families, an idea that dates back to Hippocrates. Over time, researchers have become increasingly skilled at uncovering how ...
