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

Next-generation DNA sequencing has started a revolution in genomics and created the opportunity for large-scale sequencing projects, such as the recently announced 1,000 Genomes Project—an ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

A piece of chewed birch bark tar gum unearthed in western Sweden has unlocked a window into ancient life, revealing the ...

1. Describe the role of DNA methylation in gene regulation, development, and disease progression. 2. Compare computational methods used to analyze DNA methylation signals from long-read sequencing ...

Comprehensive genome sequencing across four generations reveals that certain regions of human DNA mutate much more rapidly than previously recognized, with nearly 200 new genetic changes per ...

By sequencing the same genomes with multiple technologies, the researchers achieved the best of both worlds: accuracy on both a small and large scale. In future work, the researchers hope to extend ...
