Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

What is Third-Generation Sequencing? Third-generation sequencing, also known as long-read sequencing, refers to the latest advancements in DNA sequencing technologies that enable the analysis of ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

PLAMseq utilizes a rapid biotinylation enzyme called TurboID, which tags nearby proteins, enabling the genomic loci and ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached and the finding can be built ...

Like many cancer patients, Michael Wolff wanted answers. But, like many cancer patients in 2015, he wasn't getting them. After years of lymphoma treatment, the renowned jazz musician was still sick ...

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 ...
