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 ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. What Is Single Cell Sequencing? Single cell sequencing is a collection of methods that researchers use to isolate and analyze sequence ...

The world of cells is surprisingly noisy. Each cell carries unique genetic information, but when we try to measure cellular ...

Watch a subscriber-only conversation with Sneha Goenka, who designed the computations behind the world’s fastest whole-genome sequencing method.

This research, led by Prof. Haichen Wu from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Prof. Lei Liu from the Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS, alongside their ...

Patients with cancer are increasingly having tumor DNA sequenced: The technology has improved, prices have dropped, and such sequencing can identify a new treatment approach. But some investigators ...

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 ...

At the heart of the case against the man accused of the Gilgo Beach killings is DNA evidence — but the novel way that evidence was tested may now determine whether prosecutors can use it against their ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets.
