A landmark study harnesses long-read sequencing to reveal vast, previously undetected structural variations in human DNA, reshaping our understanding of genetics and disease potential. Study: ...
DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...
Pangenomics studies generate huge amounts of data. A new data compression method could make pangenomic analysis accessible to ...
Scientist suggests viewing genetic code not as a static "manual" that determines how organisms function, but a dynamic process of the birth of meaning and signs—semiosis. As part of this approach, the ...
Much of what shapes people’s lives happens at an unseen level—it comes down to DNA. This year, The Scientist explored genetic insights into how individuals smell, metabolize alcohol, and even how ...
