Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

This research, led by Prof. Haichen Wu from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and Prof. Lei Liu from the Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS, alongside their ...

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 ...

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is not necessarily a solution for someone with a rare, monogenic disease. Indeed, more than half of families with suspected rare monogenic diseases do not have an answer ...

A new single-cell technology is giving scientists their clearest view yet of immune cell behavior—capturing not just genetic intent, but real-time activity. By measuring RNA and proteins ...

Cambridge, MA - Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, was published this week in Nature ...

To understand more fully the role of RNA and its modifications in living systems, researchers will need robust, reproducible, and accessible tools and techniques capable of identifying all RNA ...

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 at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and The University of Texas at Austin have identified ...

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 ...
