Researchers at Aarhus University have demonstrated that a simple adjustment to water filtration methods can dramatically ...

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 ...

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is not necessarily a solution for someone with a rare, monogenic disease. Indeed, more than half of families with suspected rare monogenic diseases do not have an answer ...

Venter redrew the boundaries of biology — sequencing DNA at unprecedented speed, engineering synthetic life and charting ...

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, ...

Advances in DNA sequencing technology help forensic biologists identify suspects where traditional DNA profiling has failed, ...

This image illustrates the typical steps in next-generation sequencing (excluding single-molecule sequencing methods). The process begins with isolating genomic DNA (a) and breaking it into short ...

MIAMI (EMBARGOED UNTIL APRIL 8, 2026, AT 5AM EDT – 10AM LONDON TIME) – A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic ...

What is Third-Generation Sequencing? Third-generation sequencing, also known as long-read sequencing, refers to the latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies that enable the analysis of ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost. One ...
