Techniques for analyzing DNA have advanced, enabling scientists to better understand disease outbreaks throughout history.

One in every 10 people worldwide is impacted by a rare genetic disease but about 50% of them remain undiagnosed despite rapid increases in genetic technology and testing. Even when a person does have ...

Rosalind, a Rust-built genomics library, runs whole genome sequencing analysis in 100 MB of RAM on a laptop, with no cloud ...

Despite rapid advances in genetic testing over recent decades, about half of people with a suspected Mendelian genetic disorder have no accurate diagnosis, while others may have to wait years for ...

When Richard Dawkins’s first blockbuster book was published half a century ago, few genes had ever been sequenced or studied ...

In a manuscript published today in the American Journal of Psychiatry titled Long-Read Genome Sequencing in Clinical Psychiatry: RFX3 Haploinsufficiency in a Hospitalized Adolescent With Autism, ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days -- in a single test and at a much lower cost. One ...
