Artificial intelligence has exploded across our news feeds, with ChatGPT and related AI technologies becoming the focus of broad public scrutiny. Beyond popular chatbots, biologists are finding ways ...
In 2003, the Human Genome Project made history by sequencing 92 percent of the human genome, which created breakthroughs in medicine such as the ability to identify specific mutations that may lead to ...
A team of scientists report a new method for identifying any genome sequence located next to a known sequence. Sonication Inverse PCR (SIP) can be used to characterize any DNA sequence (near a known ...
With the recent completion of a high-quality sequence of the human genome, the challenge is now to understand the functional elements that it encodes. Comparative genomic analysis offers a powerful ...
Scientists can now rapidly read the genetic code of an organism, even a plant, in the field. A portable real-time DNA sequencer speeds the process of reading the genome—an organism’s complete set of ...
In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers predicted severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleotide sequences using outlier detection. Study: ...
Imagine a day when you visit the doctor's office for your annual physical. Your physician orders routine tests -- cholesterol, glucose and blood count -- but they also order a sequence of your genome, ...
