The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

With a new generation of fast and affordable gene sequencers, researchers are better equipped than ever to tackle Earth’s ...

Research relies on replication: Different teams need to make the same conclusion multiple times before a consensus is reached ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

The DNA inside of living organisms is packed with information, so much so that it's hard to search genetic databases, but there may be a solution.

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 ...

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 ...
