What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
Decoding the genome of a single cell could reveal previously overlooked levels of genetic variation.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
A massive project involving hundreds of scientists suggests that very little—if any—of the human genome is truly non-functional.
The human genome that researchers sequenced at the turn of the century doesn’t really exist as we know it.
Allowing athletes to enhance their performance by using genetic engineering to manipulate their DNA may become a reality of future Olympic Games.
Two whole genome duplications boosted the complexity of the ancestor of all vertebrates, but also introduced potential for disease.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
A new algorithm brings together data from second- and third-generation genome sequencers.
