MyOme, a leader in clinical whole-genome analysis, announced an advancement in rare disease diagnostics at the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Annual Meeting. By integrating ...

In a French criminal trial, conventional DNA analysis couldn’t distinguish between twin brothers, but emerging scientific methods could help in such cases.

Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

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 ...

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequence analysis to screen for fetal aneuploidy can incidentally detect maternal cancer. Additional data are needed to identify DNA-sequencing patterns and other biomarkers that ...

Market Outlook and Growth TrajectoryThe global next generation sequencing market is poised to experience robust expansion, registering an estimated growth rate of around 15% over the next five years.

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 ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

Excavations on Peru's coast reveal pre-Inca parrot husbandry, radiocarbon-dated to 1100-1450, and long-distance transport from the Amazon basin.

New analysis of ancient parrot DNA has revealed that vibrant Amazonian parrots were transported alive across the Andes to coastal Peru centuries before the Inca Empire, highlighting a sophisticated ...
