This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...
Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...
Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.
Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...
Every human face is different, but scientists still know surprisingly little about how our DNA shapes these differences. To learn more, researchers are turning to our ancient relatives, the ...
