In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA ...

NEW YORK (WRGB) — Over 600 cases across the U.S. have been solved using genetic genealogy and DNA sequencing. Family trees once thought to be a fun project for the family historian are quickly ...

The sequence pattern matters: Interruptions or “hitches” and loss of these within the C-A-G repeat and C-C-G repeat stretches play a major role as to when symptoms start with loss of interruptions ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...
