The whole genome sequencing (WGS) method to identify tumor cells in breast cancer patients provides insights for developing targeted therapies or guide patients to match clinical trials, significantly ...

The newest DNA sequencing technology from Swiss multinational Roche doesn’t measure DNA directly but in fact analyzes a different polymer altogether. The technology is not yet available for sale, but ...

There is no single genetic blueprint for cancer. Instead, each individual cancer draws on a collection of acquired mutations that endow the cells with a selective advantage and superior immune evasion ...

We are now in the second great wave of the genetic revolution, not defined by reading the human code of life, but by rewriting it.

MyHeritage becomes the first major DNA testing company to fully adopt Whole Genome Sequencing; the upgrade leverages technology by Ultima Genomics and processing at the Gene by Gene lab MyHeritage, ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

As newborn screening programs expand to include babies’ entire genomes, parents must be made aware of the privacy risks and states must create rules to rein in unbridled police access to this data.
