Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Use of a standardized cell-free (cf)DNA-sequencing and cancer-screening protocol detected cancer in nearly half of pregnant or postpartum women who initially received unusual or nonreportable clinical ...

Although it is an important technology for studying genomes, DNA sequencing was initially accomplished in 1977 by Frederick Sanger. Since its conception, the technology has developed rapidly. Alvaro G ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have uncovered answers that provide the detail to explain two specific DNA repair processes that have long been in question. The publication of two papers ...

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...
