Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

A pair of papers published this week in the two leading scientific journals mark the completion of the Human Genome Project and the start of a new project to find all of the functional elements in ...

However, it should only get easier with automation and AI assistance. While sequencing the very first human genome took an entire decade and cost $3 billion up until 2003. Today, it can be wrapped up ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

Scientists from the University of Colombia have found an ancient "ghost" DNA genome that existed in South America over 6,000 ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...
