Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: confusion over reference sequences. These sequences serve as blueprints for ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Single Cell Genomics offers vast opportunities in healthcare R&D, with potential for new disease identification and treatment. It's transitioning from lab to clinical settings, and as understanding of ...

With the advent of new omics technologies in recent years, there has been a deluge of complex, high-dimensional data on Alzheimer's disease (AD). A topical collection of articles on omics approaches ...

Bionano Genomics and Greenwood Genetic Center have announced a study published in Genome Research, marking the first use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to explore the genetic factors behind neural ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level.

Blast disease, caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae (syn. Pyricularia oryzae), is a major threat to global rice production, responsible for nearly 30% of yield losses worldwide. This disease not ...
