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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have invented a new method that uses DNA sequencing to measure metabolites. This enables rapid and precise analysis of biological compounds, such as sugars, ...
