Boston Children's Hospital, along with Broad Clinical Labs and Roche Sequencing Solutions, has demonstrated that rapid genomic sequencing and interpretation are achievable in a matter of hours. This ...

In just a few decades, DNA sequencing technologies evolved from slow, manual processes to rapid, automated ones, making ...

A new Guinness World Record for fastest whole human genome sequencing has been achieved, with researchers breaking down a patient's genetic profile in less than four hours. The 3-hour 57-minute ...

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

We spoke to David Klenerman, co-developer of sequencing by synthesis, to find out how his work heralded the next generation ...

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...

Fred Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980 for the discovery of dideoxynucleotide sequencing of DNA, merely 3 years after a description of the technique was published 1. In the ...

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect ...
