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, ...

A team from New Brunswick’s Research and Productivity Council (RPC) recently succeeded in sequencing the genome of the parasite that causes the MSX disease in oysters. It’s a ...

PacBio has announced a new study published in Nature Communications that presents an innovative method for analyzing complex regions of the human genome, particularly segmental duplications that have ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Variantyx, a leader in high complexity hereditary disease testing, today announced that they secured $20M in funding for their Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)-based testing ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak, and multiple variants were threatening lives around the world, scientists relied on a process called "tiled amplicon sequencing" to track the virus's spread ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Advanced genome sequencing is uncovering hidden autism gene variants, opening new possibilities for earlier diagnosis and future targeted therapies.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause certain types of cancer or autoimmune diseases, but how the body controls this common viral infection is largely unknown. Researchers at the University Hospital ...
