Chips used by some direct-to-consumer genetic testing firms display a false positive rate of upwards of 85 percent when screening for rare variants, a new study finds.  

Researchers combine CRISPR technology with a graphene transistor to create an electronic sensor for particular DNA sequences.

A CRISPR-based electronic sensor flags target DNA sequences at high speed.

Its screen for selected variants of some disease-linked genes gives customers an incomplete picture of their risk—do they know?

The extremely rare event, thought to be caused by two sperm cells fertilizing the same egg simultaneously, was last reported in 2007.

Learning about your own genetic idiosyncrasies comes with complex emotions.

Data don’t support many direct-to-consumer products, from telomere assessments to bespoke diets based on genetic sequences.

A security researcher found the email addresses and encrypted passwords of more than 92 million users of the genealogy site on a private server outside the company.

Luna DNA, Nebula Genomics, and other “bio-brokers” will allow customers to make money by granting access to their genetic and personal information for research purposes.
