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 ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed ...

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 ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

Although it is an important technology for studying genomes, DNA sequencing was initially accomplished in 1977 by Frederick Sanger. Since its conception, the technology has developed rapidly. Alvaro G ...

The collection of high-quality genomic DNA remains a major barrier in pediatric and neurodevelopmental research, particularly among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurogenetic ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

Use of a standardized cell-free (cf)DNA-sequencing and cancer-screening protocol detected cancer in nearly half of pregnant or postpartum women who initially received unusual or nonreportable clinical ...

The sequence pattern matters: Interruptions or “hitches” and loss of these within the C-A-G repeat and C-C-G repeat stretches play a major role as to when symptoms start with loss of interruptions ...

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 ...
