For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

Once disregarded as “junk DNA,” scientists now know that this molecular dark matter is crucial for determining gene activity ...

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi – microorganisms that, if actually present in tumor tissues, could influence how ...

Illumina, which specializes in DNA sequencing, will work on samples representing 1,300 species in the San Diego Zoo Wildlife ...

"By cleverly combining new techniques for analyzing DNA at the level of individual molecules, we can achieve real breakthroughs in research into conditions such as dementia," predicts Professor John ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

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 ...
