DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

A research team has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), termed the NyuWa VNTR Polymorphism Map. The team has generated maps using ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has received a $2 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for ongoing research to develop a comprehensive map of human genetic variation. The Human Genome ...

Life sciences-focused technology company MGI Tech announced a commercial partnership with Human Cell Atlas, a global consortium working to map every cell type in the human body, to advance worldwide ...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

Ever since the draft of the human genome became available in 2001, there has been a nagging question about the genome’s “dark matter”—the parts of the map that were missed the first time through, and ...

In the 1980s, there was growing enthusiasm about the prospect of mapping and sequencing the human genome, a monumental project that would have far-reaching consequences for medicine, biology, ...

Electronic genome mapping (EGM) detects and validates structural variants in cancer genomes with improved accuracy over existing platforms, including optical mapping technologies PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct ...
