Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Precise activation of tens of thousands of genes is critical for healthy development and growth. Specialized segments of our ...

Open-access databases such as the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) contain more than 2.4 million bacterial genomes, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Until now, searching these vast ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models or cultured cells. To fully realize the potential to study biology at this unprecedented scale ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

Forensic DNA analysis has come a long way, from conventional blood-grouping methods to STR profiling and, more recently, ...

A group of a few dozen colorful translucent 3D blobs, many of which overlap, contain brightly colored dots against a black background. Three-dimensional transcriptomics data from an instrument ...

When it comes to finding answers, every moment counts—especially in critical care settings like the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU). Although rapid genetic tests, whether ...

Researchers at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have developed a new machine learning method called SAVANA that significantly reduces sequencing errors for cancer genomes. Long-read ...

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 ...
