Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

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 ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

The sequence pattern matters: Interruptions or “hitches” and loss of these within the C-A-G repeat and C-C-G repeat stretches play a major role as to when symptoms start with loss of interruptions ...

Obtaining high-quality, high-molecular-weight (HMW) DNA is key for optimal yield and performance of long-read sequencing with saliva samples. Salivary DNA stabilized in DNA Genotek™ Oragene™ devices, ...
