Researchers at the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute have demonstrated an effective new tool for mapping genetic variants in sequencing data using ‘pangenomics’ instead of a single reference genome .

DNA sections. These larger variations can affect how genes are turned on or off, especially when they occur near important control regions of the genome.” DNA methylation is another way cells regulate ...

Structural variations are genetic code alterations that span more than 50 base pairs, the rungs on the DNA ladder. These changes were hard to detect until the recent advent of newer sequencing ...

All humans have the same genes, but there are many variations in the exact sequences of the genes—meaning the sequence of DNA subunits (abbreviated A, C, T, G) that spell out the genetic code ...

The analysis of genetic variation across large populations plays a crucial role in scientific and clinical advancements. Microarray technologies have proven to be instrumental in these efforts, ...

Cells working with an expanded genetic code could make more diverse medicines. A new study shows scientists are within striking distance.

Scientists have revealed a draft update to the human genetic code, calling it a pangenome and using DNA from 47 genetically diverse individuals to understand what makes us human, but different at ...

India's largest-ever genomic study has identified genetic variants unique to the country, marking a crucial step in closing a longstanding gap in global genomics research. The preliminary findings ...
