Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

Nearly every cell in the human body—from the ones in the fingernails to the ones deep inside the brain—contains a complete set of DNA, the operating instructions that influence everything from a ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level. In a ...

A few years ago, a new NGS platform being announced at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) meeting would not have been a surprise; multiple new instruments entered the NGS arena over ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

Imagine trying to develop a new aircraft without blueprints or treat a disease without at least an anatomical atlas and physiological manuals of the human body. Plant breeders have faced these types ...

In a paper published on aBIOTECH, the authors introduce BacPhase, a sequence-based phasing method that uses restriction ...
