The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have simulated a new concept for rapid, accurate gene sequencing by pulling a DNA molecule through a tiny, chemically activated ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

What is Nanopore DNA Sequencing? Nanopore DNA sequencing is a cutting-edge technology that enables the direct, real-time analysis of long DNA or RNA fragments. Unlike conventional sequencing methods ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor cancer treatments, according to a study led ...

Antibiotic resistance is often framed as a hospital problem, but a growing body of evidence shows that the environment plays ...

Through genomic sequencing and analysis, clinicians can identify specific mutations present in a patient’s cancer cells and deliver personalized treatment based on the genetic information. Increased ...

New research suggests the mysterious Roman-era “Beachy Head Woman” was likely from Britain, not the Mediterranean or ...
