Researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity claim to be the first to demonstrate the use of genome sequencing in tracking and receiving quick insights into bacterial ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

The record-breaking crystal will act as a DNA time capsule that could be used to bring back humanity after our extinction, researchers say. But not everyone is convinced. When you purchase through ...

I am a doctoral trainee working in Dr. Kaixiang Cao’s lab. Our lab is interested in understanding how epigenetic events, including histone modifications, DNA modifications, and nucleosome positioning, ...

The South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) has the largest known genome of the animal kingdom at 91 billion base pairs of DNA. Katherine Seghers, Louisiana State University Scientists have ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest known animal genome — and it's 30 times bigger than the human genome. The genome belongs to the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa), a primeval, ...

There is a new record for the largest genome to be sequenced, set at a massive 90 billion letters of DNA. It belongs to the South American lungfish. “It was a technical challenge, of course, to do ...

The Human Genome Project was a massive undertaking that took more than a decade and billions of dollars to complete. For it, scientists collected DNA samples from anonymous volunteers who were told ...

The Human Genome Project was among the most ambitious scientific efforts in modern history, with the aim of deciphering the chemical makeup of the entire human genetic code. The sequence of some 3 ...

First, let’s start with the basics. All living things have a genome. Genomes are made of DNA. Each of your cells has a copy of your genome packed inside of it. You can think of it like an instruction ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

The fern Tmesipteris oblanceolata, which scientists just discovered has the longest known genome of any organism. Ferns are known among scientists for having particularly large genomes. Pol Fernandez ...
