This ultra-fast sequencing machine, which hit the market last year, is only sold in groups of 10 — a system capable of sequencing 18,000 human genomes a year at just $1,000 to $1,500 per genome.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe autoimmune disease with complex genetic causes. Some genetic contributors have been identified, but others remain unknown, which has impeded development of ...

A gibbous moon hangs over a lonely mountain trail in the Italian Alps, above the village of Malles Venosta, whose lights dot the valley below. Benjamin Wiesmair stands next to a moth trap as tall as ...

Researchers at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have developed a new machine learning method called SAVANA that significantly reduces sequencing errors for cancer genomes. Long-read ...

San Diego has been a powerhouse when it comes to genetic sequencing. But industry leader Illumina is being challenged by an eight-year-old startup, led by a woman who was once on Illumina’s payroll.

Plants are constantly exposed to a wide array of biotic and abiotic stresses in their natural environments, posing ...

Sequencing an entirely complete human genome has been the work of decades. Twenty years ago, the Human Genome Project (HGP) declared their work finished, with an asterisk. Even a decade later, fully ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

The researchers deployed a newly developed machine learning system called SIGNET – Statistical Inference on Gene Regulatory ...
