Genome-wide association studies have linked thousands of genetic variants to disease, yet most remain disconnected from drug-relevant biology. Neville Sanjana, Professor at New York University and ...

The Proton Semiconductor Sequencer from Ion Torrent Systems Inc., a new DNA sequencing machine and chip designed to sequence ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

Research into human genomic diversity has a number of applications in biomedicine, evolution, and history. However, many populations have historically been underrepresented on the human genomic map.

Increasing Use of Germline Genetic Testing in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Relationship to Clinical Outcome: A Single-Institution Study Hereditary cancers represent 5%-10% of all cancers, ...

For nearly two decades, Indian geneticists harboured a quiet frustration: while the world chased genomic breakthroughs, the billion-plus people of this subcontinent remained largely genomically ...

A timeline of genetic changes in millions of years of human evolution shows that variants linked to higher intelligence appeared most rapidly around 500,000 years ago, and were closely followed by ...

The Delta variant, also referred to as a "double mutant" because it carries two mutations, is 55 per cent more transmissible ...

You start with the collection of a sample from a lagoon or a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Once the sample arrives here, if it's destined for sequencin ...
