The compounding power of Moore's Law allowed for the internet the smartphone and AI. Now Ian says it's being applied to the ...

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 ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

The researchers deeply sequenced five head and neck squamous carcinomas, four lung squamous carcinomas, and one colorectal adenoma.

Although it is an important technology for studying genomes, DNA sequencing was initially accomplished in 1977 by Frederick Sanger. Since its conception, the technology has developed rapidly. Alvaro G ...

The first complete genetic portrait of a so‑called “last Neanderthal” is forcing scientists to redraw the map of our origins, from who we met to how we survived. Instead of a simple story of ...

Findings could help yield more accurate tests for autism and new therapies targeting specific genetic mechanisms.

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

Use of a standardized cell-free (cf)DNA-sequencing and cancer-screening protocol detected cancer in nearly half of pregnant or postpartum women who initially received unusual or nonreportable clinical ...
