High-throughput sequencing relies on mechanical and enzymatic techniques to break apart DNA into fragments in a consistent and reliable manner. However, traditional approaches tend to favor DNA ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

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 ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

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 ...
