Comprehensive genome sequencing of 13,880 tumors revealed somatic and germline mutations that could influence patient treatment and prognosis.

Ten years ago, scientists put DNA barcodes in AAV vectors, creating an approach that simplified, expedited, and streamlined AAV screening. 

Researchers found more than 800 sites in the genome where the twins bore the same chemical tags.

Drawing inspiration from nature, synthetic biology offers exciting opportunities to transform the future of medicine.

Neurological disorders often have sex biases, and these differences could be due to altered protein expression in the brain.

E. Li, C. Beard, R. Jaenisch, "Role for DNA methylation in genomic imprinting," Nature, 366:362-5, 1993. (Cited in more than 70 publications through August 1995) Comments by Rudolf Jaenisch, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambridge, Mass. "The fact that DNA methylation--a modification in which methyl groups are added to cytosine residues--was involved in gene expression had been suggested for a long time," says Rudolf Jaenisch, a professor of biology at the Whitehead Institute f

By studying the genomes of more than 24,000 individuals, researchers discovered rare genetic mutations that may shed light on mechanisms underlying schizophrenia.

With deep learning methods revolutionizing life sciences, researchers bet on de novo proteins and cell mapping models to deliver customized precision medicines.
