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 ...

In his Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1980, genomics pioneer Fred Sanger described science as “a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge.” It’s ...

DNA sequencing is a set of laboratory methods for determining the precise linear order of nucleotides (A, C, G, T) in a DNA molecule. Core methodological classes include Sanger sequencing, which uses ...

The collection of high-quality genomic DNA remains a major barrier in pediatric and neurodevelopmental research, particularly among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurogenetic ...

An AI model developed by Google's DeepMind could transform our understanding of DNA - the complete recipe for building and running the human body - and its impact on disease and medicine discovery, ...

BabySeq is a clinical trial exploring how to responsibly share genetic risk information found in the DNA of healthy babies. Bioethicist Dr. Lainie Friedman Ross says the research is important, but ...
