Illumina, which specializes in DNA sequencing, will work on samples representing 1,300 species in the San Diego Zoo Wildlife ...

Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi – microorganisms that, if actually present in tumor tissues, could influence how ...

Every year, millions of newborns undergo routine screening as a preventive strategy to detect inherited disorders before ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Despite rapid advances in genome and exome sequencing, many individuals with rare diseases remain undiagnosed. In a Perspective article published in Nature Genetics, researchers at Karolinska ...

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 ...

The market for whole genome and exome sequencing is set to grow significantly, driven by decreasing sequencing costs and a ...
