We decoded the oldest genetic data from an Egyptian, a man buried around 4,500 years ago – what it told us

What is genome sequencing? How does it work in your world? Genome sequencing is the process of reading an organism’s entire genetic code. In humans, that’s about 3 billion chemical “letters” (A, C, T ...

From DNA To Decision

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

Q&A: Algorithm achieves near end-to-end genome assembly without ultra-long DNA sequencing

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

RNA is key to the dark matter of the genome − scientists are sequencing it to illuminate human health and disease

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Genomics: Decoding the blueprints for Australia's biodiversity

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This ...
