Genome Sequencing

Scientists are analyzing the sequencing of the COVID-19 virus for variants like Delta and Omicron.

Scientists have used whole-genome sequencing to explore the evolutionary history of the endangered species.

Advances in IVF, as well as gene editing, mean it could soon become the primary way to have children—not just for infertile or same-sex couples but for everyone.

The device has closed 12 gaps in the known human genome.

Biologists found that the axolotl has an exceptionally long genome, with 32 billion base pairs of DNA, 10 times the number a human has. It's the largest genome ever sequenced.

The world now has its second ever high-quality Neanderthal genome.

Understanding the genetic blueprint of these scourges may provide new targets for developing more effective and specially-tailored pesticides.

Previously, the fastest sequencing and diagnosis took 50 hours to complete.
