Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

Living organisms share an ancestor called the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA. LUCA is estimated to have lived ...

BEIJING -- Chinese scientists have launched an ambitious international megascience project to decode the genetic blueprint of ...

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development ...

Deep-learning model decodes the regulatory effects of DNA changes ...

Uncovering complex disease patterns from large-scale, heterogeneous health data remains a significant challenge. Traditional statistical methods and conventional machine learning algorithms often ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Department of Biological, Chemical and Environmental Sciences, Wheaton College Massachusetts, Norton, MA, United States Population geneticists increasingly confront a paradox: even with genome-scale ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A new study provides fresh evidence that ancient interbreeding with archaic human species may have provided modern humans with genetic variation that helped them ...
