Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

Some experts are concerned that access to genomic information could stoke fears and invade privacy. As Genetic Sequencing Spreads, Excitement, Worries Grow Ever since James Watson and Francis Crick ...

As genetic sequencing technology becomes more accessible and efficient, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the genetic underpinnings of various diseases. This knowledge has led ...

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is not necessarily a solution for someone with a rare, monogenic disease. Indeed, more than half of families with suspected rare monogenic diseases do not have an answer ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics -meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Thanks to increasingly efficient and affordable gene sequencing technologies, we can now chart our genetic blueprint in unprecedented detail. But what does each gene do? Of the roughly 20,000 genes ...

Next-generation DNA sequencing (NGS) has transformed the way scientists understand genetics. With the ability to sequence DNA and RNA faster and cheaper than ever before, this technology is reshaping ...

This summer you can add another: Gene sequencing of a corn dog. University of Minnesota researchers are aiming to crack the genetic code of the quintessential State Fair snack at the school’s Driven ...

Researchers at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine (RCIGM) in San Diego have successfully applied long-read genome sequencing to reveal the genetic underpinnings of complex psychiatric ...
