Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

"Now we have a background noise modeling framework that can distinguish between deviations in tumor sequencing data that arise due to inherent noise versus those that arise due to real copy-number ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyze long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers' ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes.

Over the last 10 years, breakthroughs in understanding the genetic instructions passed from parent to offspring have put researchers closer than ever before to efficiently decoding DNA with 100% ...

Researchers benchmarked nanopore methylation callers across bacterial, plant, mouse, and human datasets, comparing accuracy, ...

Cambridge, MA - Traditional bisulfite sequencing damages DNA, while enzyme-based alternatives are inconsistent. A novel methylation analysis method, called UMBS-seq, was published this week in Nature ...

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 ...

TEL AVIV, Israel & LEHI, Utah & HOUSTON & FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MyHeritage, the leading global platform for family history and DNA testing, announced today a landmark move to Whole Genome ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...
