Scientists at UC Santa Cruz have completed the first end-to-end genome of the iconic Pacific banana slug, a species ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

They then deployed genome sequencing to analyse the genetic effects of these structural variations on cell survival. It ...

The Plant and Animal Genomics conference recently held in San Diego showcased the ways that rapidly advancing technologies can be used in the crop and livestock sectors ...

Although the genetic sequence is the same in every cell in the body, only a subset of those genes is expressed by each cell.

Many studies are revealing that the total content of structural variants in the human genome could equal or exceed that of SNPs. Structural variants often coincide with low-copy repeat DNA (also ...

Genetic changes have the ability to alter crop characteristics, and some crop breeding techniques take advantage of this. Conventionally, genetic engineering has relied on natural or artificial ...

"Recently, the nearly complete human genome has been sequenced, but many of its functional regions remain unknown. Our findings link DNA sequence information with its functional roles. We hope ...

"We have identified forms of DNA damage that manage to escape our DNA repair mechanisms and persist in the genome for days, months, or sometimes years. These findings don't fit with what ...
