This study introduces TEAM (Targeted Elimination and Microcell-Mediated Transfer), a novel programmable platform that enables ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there's a whole lot of DNA beyond genes that we are just starting to understand.

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

If I asked you, dear reader, to come up with a shortlist of the most monumental scientific achievements of the last century, chances are the Human Genome Project (HGP) would appear somewhere on that ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...
