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 ...

In a study recently published in Nature Communications, researchers from Berlin, Potsdam, and Jena present a new method for ...

A complete guide to next-generation sequencing: the chemistry behind major platforms, how libraries are built, data analyzed, ...

AI decodes the initiator, a genetic switch present in roughly 60% of focused human gene promoters, giving researchers the first-ever quantitative tool to predict whether specific DNA mutations at ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
