DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of ...

Newborn babies admitted to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rely on the quick decisions and rapid action of the medical team responsible for them. DNA testing is critical to ...

An identical twin commits a crime and leaves their DNA at the scene. Can DNA testing reveal which twin is the culprit? This question reportedly came up in a case in France last month, in which the ...

The first resource containing high-resolution DNA sequencing data for over 37,000 children and parents collected over multiple decades from across the UK is now available to researchers worldwide. The ...

Janina Krumbeck, PhD, discusses the clinical advantages of next-generation sequencing over traditional culture and how this untargeted diagnostic approach provides comprehensive pathogen ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful supplement to DNA sequencing for Mendelian disease diagnosis, but clinical translation of diagnostic RNA-seq has not been widely achieved. Researchers at ...

Readouts of the full DNA of children with cancer at diagnosis have been implemented as the standard of care in a European first. By determining a child's type of cancer as precisely as possible, the ...

Researchers examined ceremonial parrot feathers discovered far out of their native ranges and found signs of a far-reaching ...
