Researchers in the UK have extracted and sequenced the oldest Egyptian DNA to date from an individual who lived more than ...

DNA sequencing was revolutionized after scientists discovered a new bacterium in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park ...

Proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation “would cause immense and largely ...

Historically, DNA sequencing has relied on the exact same process of copying DNA—in fact, the enzymes that make copies of DNA within a cell are so efficient that biologists have used a modified ...

Powerful new applications of what is known as next-generation sequencing are now helping with identification of degraded ...

It's unclear precisely how much genetic sequencing of newborns would cost. Now, the BabySeq team pays well over $1,000 per baby, including the sequencing and returning understandable results, ...

The COVID-19 response is among the first major pandemic scenarios to benefit from decades of investment in genetic sequencing and genomic science. “In public health, we are using sequencing as a ...

But anyone opting for whole genome sequencing right now should be aware that the science is only partially cooked, says Robert C. Green, who studies the intersection of consumer genetic testing ...

Genetic sequencing is important because the coronavirus, like all viruses, mutates as it moves through people. Many changes are inconsequential and do not alter the transmissibility or severity of ...

Today, Babayev credits the test, known as rapid whole-genome sequencing, for saving his daughter's life. "It is why we believe Layla is still with us today," he said.

It doesn’t take much imagination to guess how this full genome sequencing could be abused. Last year, a public records lawsuit in New Jersey revealed a worrying new trend of police subpoenaing a ...
