Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

However, it should only get easier with automation and AI assistance. While sequencing the very first human genome took an entire decade and cost $3 billion up until 2003. Today, it can be wrapped up ...

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 ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current ...
