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 ...

The power of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing has made it possible to design genetic sequences encoding ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

BabySeq is a clinical trial exploring how to responsibly share genetic risk information found in the DNA of healthy babies.

Thanks to a new approach, more labs will be able to access the power of single-cell sequencing — gaining insights into complex biological processes otherwise obscured in bulk samples. Not so long ago, ...
