Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

New technological advancements have allowed us to look at the entire human genome. The genome is the complete set of genetic information encoded in the DNA. Human DNA has around three billion letters ...

How AI is sequencing the genomes of all known living species on Earth By Abhimanyu Ghoshal November 11, 2025 Sequencing a genome today involves recording and assembling data with a high degree of ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning stretches across your life, your children's, and your family's. To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak, and multiple variants were threatening lives around the world, scientists relied on a process called "tiled amplicon sequencing" to track the virus's spread ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

By utilizing long-read sequencing, an emerging technique that reads large sections of the genome at once, scientists at UC San Diego have revealed new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...
