Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain diseases ‘ran in families’. However, through the years, scientists have kept ...

RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful supplement to DNA sequencing for Mendelian disease diagnosis, but clinical translation of diagnostic RNA-seq has not been widely achieved. Researchers at ...

April 14, 2025 – Genome Research (https://genome.org) publishes a second special issue highlighting advances in long-read sequencing applications in biology and medicine. In this second Special Issue, ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Oncology, researchers from California investigated the diagnostic outcomes of concurrent sequencing of ...

This study generated two million short DNA sequences, known as signature sequences or sequence tags, to identify and quantify both known and novel small RNA molecules. with the Breaking Science News ...

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 ...

A full-size, high-density RNA microchip is about the size of a fingernail and can contain up to 780 000 unique RNA sequences, each occupying a ~14 x 14 μm² area. The presence and the quality of the ...

An international research team has succeeded in developing a new version of RNA building blocks with higher chemical reactivity and photosensitivity. This can significantly reduce the production time ...
