Illumina's divestiture of GRAIL boosts financials, while strong gross margins and DNA sequencing growth drive potential. See ...

Powerful new applications of what is known as next-generation sequencing are now helping with identification of degraded ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A ...

Antibiotics are one of the greatest triumphs in the history of medical science—but these lifesaving tools have a dark side. Their persistent use can produce "superbugs"—drug-resistant microbes that ...

Neither technique can match what researchers are accustomed to in the world of DNA sequencing, where variations between genes or RNA transcripts can be pinpointed at the single-monomer level.

Google's DeepMind launches AlphaGenome, an artificial intelligence model that predicts gene expression from DNA sequence.

It makes sense that identical twins would have the exact same DNA, right? Spoiler alert: Not always! Here's why. How are identical twins formed? Identical twins (also called monozygotic or MZ twins) ...

Using multiple sequencing technologies to analyze the genetics of a four-generation family allowed researchers to see how human DNA changes over time. Credit: Wesley Thomas / University of Utah Health ...

Approximately 13% of the human genome at certain motifs have the potential to form non-canonical (non-B) DNA structures (e.g. G-quadruplexes, cruciforms, and Z-DNA), which regulate many cellular ...

China offered multiple countries help with covid-19 testing during the pandemic. The payoff for Beijing included access to the DNA of millions of people.

A man whose identity had remained a mystery since his death over 20 years ago has now been finally identified, thanks to groundbreaking genealogy techniques.
