A portion of our genome that was once dismissed as being “junk” may actually play an important role in regulating gene ...

Across two new papers published Wednesday (July 23) in the journal Nature, scientists sequenced the DNA of 1,084 people ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” pieces of ancient viral DNA in our genome are now known to help control which genes are turned on or off.

A global team mapped over 100,000 structural variants in human genomes by applying Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and a ...

When even longer DNA is required, Elegen has demonstrated better than a 95% success rate in constructing sequence-perfect DNA plasmids at lengths over 18,000 base pairs by assembling just a few ...

But while experts now know a fair amount about ancient Egyptian life, they still understand very little about the population’s genetic makeup. Researchers have genomically analyzed three specimens to ...

Ancient DNA sequencing could be used with other techniques for analyzing plant material to paint a fuller picture of the past, says Mads Bakken Thastrup, ...

The fluorescence, along with the sequences of bases, was read as the DNA was passed through a tiny pore. Pictures in a meta-genome Using this system, Zhang et al. created five DNA templates and ...
