An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using complete sequences from 65 individuals across diverse ancestries. This milestone ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

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 ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Complete Genomics will share details of various multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics applications based on its sequencing technology at the 2024 American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Meeting.

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

454 Life Sciences Corporation, in collaboration with scientists at the Human Genome Sequencing Center, Baylor College of Medicine, has announced in Houston, Texas, the completion of a project to ...
