By Julia Symmes Cobb BOGOTA (Reuters) -Scientists in Colombia have discovered a previously unknown lineage of human beings ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ...

DNA sequencing is the process of determining the sequence of base pairs in a sample of DNA. Scientists use various approaches to sequence a DNA sample, including Sanger sequencing, shotgun ...

Many regions help control when and where genes are active. A genetic variant is a change in the DNA sequence. When a variant occurs in reproductive cells, it can be passed from parent to child and ...

DNA sequencing was traditionally done, and still is in many cases, by methods that are rather tedious and allow the determination of only about 500 nucleotides at a time.

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

Tyler Kartzinel: The technology is becoming amazing. Sequencing technology, if you think back 25 years, required huge teams of people working in warehouses to sequence every little bit at a time.

Experience with the entire DNA sequencing process is very rare at the undergraduate level, exposing the students to valuable skills for their ongoing academic journeys and careers. Along the way, ...
