A large Chinese sequencing center’s purchase of Complete Genomics, a California-based DNA services company, ensures the valued technology will remain on the market.
Privacy advocates are arguing that collecting genetic data upon arrest is an invasion of privacy, given recent evidence that 80 percent of the human genome is functional.
A PLOS ONE study claiming to have jacked up the essential crop with a gene to allow the plant to produce protein is retracted.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
Researchers show that DNA supercoils are dynamic structures that can “hop” long distances, a phenomenon that could affect gene regulation.
Researchers studying the effects of genetically modified golden rice on schoolchildren in China are accused of unethical behavior.
A massive project involving hundreds of scientists suggests that very little—if any—of the human genome is truly non-functional.
