Genomic testing based on chromosome microarray (CMA) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) revolutionized clinical genetics. That said, microarray, targeted panel, exome and generic whole genome ...

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, ...

In the February 15 Nature, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium announces the completion of the first draft of the sequence of the human genome. The publication is the achievement of ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Researchers mapped genetic blueprints for 51 species including cats, dolphins, kangaroos, penguins, sharks, and turtles, a discovery that deepens our understanding of evolution and the links between ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, and today it's a common research technique. This game-changing bacterium ...
