Orange cats have always stood out in the living room, but new research shows they also stand apart in the mammal family tree.

Two centuries after Ludwig van Beethoven’s death, a few strands of his hair have given scientists their clearest view yet of what was happening inside his body. By sequencing DNA from authenticated ...

Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, has been published in Nature Communications.

Cambridge, MA - Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, was published this week in Nature ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases — a task once thought too ...

But bear in mind that in the past few years, AI and automation technologies have advanced rapidly, and could help accelerate efforts going forward. Google actually has an important role to play in ...

When it comes to finding answers, every moment counts—especially in critical care settings like the neonatal and pediatric intensive care units (NICU and PICU). Although rapid genetic tests, whether ...

While men may be able to have children much later than women, doing so could come with an increased risk of inherited disease for their children. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute have ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

Harmful genetic changes in sperm become substantially more common as men age because some are actively favored during sperm production, new research has revealed. In a landmark study published today ...
