Scientists at the USDA’s Agriculture Research Service have demonstrated the potential of a form of whole genome sequencing for the early detection of Salmonella on food contact surfaces. The ...

University of Southampton scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal—a revolutionary data storage format that can survive for billions of years.

The World’s Largest Animal Genome Belongs to an Odd, Air-Breathing Fish Scientists sequenced the 91 billion base pairs in the South American lungfish’s genome, setting a record and revealing ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest genome of all animals, the lungfish genome. Their data help to explain how the fish-ancestors of today's land vertebrates were able to conquer land.

In a recent study, scientists have unlocked the genetic secrets of Cissus quadrangularis, a plant that flourishes in the harshest of desert climates.

Scientists have discovered the organism with the largest known genome, containing 160 billion base pairs. That makes it more than 50 times bigger than the human genome, and the organism it’s ...

A small, unassuming fern-like plant has something massive lurking within: the largest genome ever discovered, outstripping the human genome by more than 50 times. Study co-author Jaume Pellicer ...

Researchers now have unlocked the genome of the Arabica species and traced its origins to a natural mating between two other coffee species an estimated 610,000 to one million years ago in the ...

In a recent study published in Frontiers in Plant Science, researchers presented the assembly of the chia reference genome.

Genome Insight, Inc. and Shriners Children’s have launched a new human, whole-genome sequencing research project called Unraveling the Genetic Mysteri ...

After the Human Genome Project, Kent went on to create and direct the UC Santa Cruz Genome Browser, which continues to give hundreds of thousands of scientists free access to multiple genomes and ...

The Human Genome Project truly has changed the scientific landscape, but we’re still only at the very beginning of seeing the world that it’s made possible.
