The first and largest dataset of genomic structure variations specific to childhood cancers was published today by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the National Cancer ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

SAVANA uses a machine learning algorithm to identify cancer-specific structural variations and copy number aberrations in long-read DNA sequencing data. The complex structure of cancer genomes means ...

Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions. Yet breeding improved varieties—plants that are more resilient, produce ...

Chickens are one of the most important livestock globally, serving not only as a primary source of high-quality protein for humans but also carrying unique genetic characteristics across different ...

Recent advances in genome sequencing have improved all aspects of uncovering the human genome. One of the unlocked areas includes variant calling, or identifying and cataloging genetic variations, ...

A landmark study harnesses long-read sequencing to reveal vast, previously undetected structural variations in human DNA, reshaping our understanding of genetics and disease potential. Study: ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...
