The Earth BioGenome Project is racing to sequence the DNA of life, building a global genome library to protect biodiversity.

Automated library preparation is critical for reducing errors, increasing repeatability, and reducing hands-on time, allowing researchers to generate sequence data from DNA more quickly. The CyBio ...

From the mighty blue whale to the humble baker’s yeast, scientists have barely begun to understand the vast genetic diversity among lifeforms.

A research team led by scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) has introduced a new ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 1985, geneticists achieved a major archeological breakthrough ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
