Blended genome–exome sequencing reads key regions deeply and the rest of the genome shallowly, cutting costs and ancestry ...

Our DNA is often pictured as a simple spiral, like a piece of rope held taut. But inside cells, it folds into a complex three ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the Arc Institute describe the development and advantages of “Evo 2”. Evo 2 is a novel biological foundation model trained on a ...

A study by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute, and Yale University has identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

A new COVID-19 strain, informally dubbed the Cicada variant, has sparked global curiosity and concern. Scientifically linked to the evolving COVID-19 virus and its Omicron Variant lineage, BA.3.2 is ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
