With 80% of rare diseases having a genetic cause, getting a head start on genetic testing for infants can be the key to an ...

In this series, ‘Genomics 101’, we go back to basics and explore some of the most important topics in genomics. In this blog, we explain what we mean ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are unbiased genome screens of unrelated individuals and appropriately matched controls or parent-affected child trios to establish whether any genetic ...

Genome duplication is the process by which additional copies of the entire genome are generated, due to nondisjunction during meiosis. The resulting cells and organisms are polyploid – they ...

Their datasets define how interactions between the genome and the different nuclear landmarks relate to each other and change across cell types. They also identify how these relationships change in ...

The interior secretary cited a biotech company’s claim to have brought back the dire wolf to generate momentum for a rollback ...

Researchers had been studying the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for decades without seeing evidence of an active virus ...

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genome regions containing thousands of genetic variants associated with asthma, but it's still not clear which variants have an ...

You are more viral than you think. About 8% of your DNA—far more than is used to build proteins—is made of ancient viruses.
