Sheikh Khaled approves the UAE's 2026–2031 National Genomics Masterplan, including 900,000 personalised reports and expanded genetic screening.

Although genome-editing-based breeding has advanced rapidly in aquaculture, progress in marine mollusks has lagged behind. The main challenge is not genome editing itself, but rather rearing the few edited larvae through metamorphosis to establish a…

Scientists from Skoltech, together with colleagues from the Kharkevich Institute for Information Transmission Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lomonosov Moscow State University and other organizations, conducted a comparative study of the 3D…

My dad recently passed away but we have a spare vial of his blood (we are using some of it for dna banking). I am interested in using some of this blood for whole genome sequencing.…

Techniques for analyzing DNA have advanced, enabling scientists to better understand disease outbreaks throughout history.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic material — a mistake linked to aging, cancer, and other…

Pioneering and controversial geneticist who was one of the first to sequence the human genome, in part by using his own DNA

In hard times, like when the dinosaur-killing asteroid hit Earth, some plants transformed into "hopeful monsters" to save themselves. Now, a new paper shows that these monsters are more common than we thought.

Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, thousands of molecules coordinate with one another in highly precise steps, all within a fraction of a second. But things don't always go as planned.

In 2010, Craig Venter and his colleagues took a bacterial genome they had designed on a computer, assembled it from chemical building blocks, transplanted it into an empty cell, and…

From Independent RSS Feed: J. Craig Venter, who won the race to sequence the human genome, dies at 79

Craig didn't just study life. He decoded it, synthesized it, and dared to ask what it meant to create it from scratch. At a time when sequencing a single genome took years and billions of dollars, he built a private company, assembled a supercomputer, and…

An international team of researchers has produced complete, gap-free genome sequences for six peanut varieties, providing a comprehensive blueprint for future peanut breeding and improvement strategies.

Introducing a new, unifying DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction and promises to shed new light on genome function — now available via API.
