For decades, scientists have struggled to untangle the genetic complexity of crops with multiple chromosome sets. Now, researchers have unveiled a cost-effective sequencing method, dpMIG-seq, that ...

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

Advances in DNA sequencing technology help forensic biologists identify suspects where traditional DNA profiling has failed, ...

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, ...

Researchers developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare diseases. The study team demonstrated that this ...

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 ...

This image illustrates the typical steps in next-generation sequencing (excluding single-molecule sequencing methods). The process begins with isolating genomic DNA (a) and breaking it into short ...

Whole genome analysis plays a critical role in the development of life-saving diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines, with growing interest in noncoding regions and Whole genome analysis plays a ...

Single-cell sequencing is useful for a number of applications. For example, it can reveal cellular heterogeneity inside complex tissues, such as tumors. It can also provide information about how ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost. One ...
