The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

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 ...

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, ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

A study published in Nature looks at genetic determinants of persistent Epstein-Barr virus DNA and associations with chronic conditions. Prof Lawrence Young, Virologist and Emeritus Professor of ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Saliva is an easily accessible source of high molecular weight DNA for Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing applications.

Antibiotic resistance is often framed as a hospital problem, but a growing body of evidence shows that the environment plays ...
