The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

Scripps Research scientists have discovered how some tumors endure DNA damage, revealing a potential new way to target them. The DNA inside our cells is constantly exposed to damage, and one of the ...

The last two decades have seen a revolution in scientists' ability to reconstruct the past. This has been made possible ...

Orange cats have always stood out in the living room, but new research shows they also stand apart in the mammal family tree.

Two centuries after Ludwig van Beethoven’s death, a few strands of his hair have given scientists their clearest view yet of what was happening inside his body. By sequencing DNA from authenticated ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

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 ...

But bear in mind that in the past few years, AI and automation technologies have advanced rapidly, and could help accelerate efforts going forward. Google actually has an important role to play in ...

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 ...

A new Guinness World Record for fastest whole human genome sequencing has been achieved, with researchers breaking down a patient's genetic profile in less than four hours. The 3-hour 57-minute ...
