New research assessing the efficacy of optical genome mapping (OGM) in a group of patients with acute leukemia has ...

To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning stretches across your life, your children's, and your family's. To many, the genome is a puzzle—a many-sided puzzle whose meaning ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes.

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

A research team led by scientists at the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, Brazil, has completed the most extensive genetic sequencing of a jararaca viper to date. The focus of the study was the genome ...
