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, ...

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 ...

Genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 "gene scissors" is a powerful tool for biological discovery and for identifying novel drug targets. In pooled CRISPR screens, a large number of cells are edited ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

PacBio has announced a new study published in Nature Communications that presents an innovative method for analyzing complex regions of the human genome, particularly segmental duplications that have ...

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 ...

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Variantyx, a leader in high complexity hereditary disease testing, today announced that they secured $20M in funding for their Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)-based testing ...

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 ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...
