DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Pregnancy loss may occur in as many as 25% of all pregnancies. Most of these losses occur in the first trimester, and about half are caused by genetic or chromosomal issues. When pregnancy loss occurs ...

Electronic genome mapping (EGM) detects and validates structural variants in cancer genomes with improved accuracy over existing platforms, including optical mapping technologies PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct ...

Bionano Genomics, Inc. announced a groundbreaking study published in Modern Pathology, which highlights the effectiveness of optical genome mapping (OGM) in detecting bone and soft tissue tumors. This ...

Bionano Genomics and Greenwood Genetic Center have announced a study published in Genome Research, marking the first use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to explore the genetic factors behind neural ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

A near-complete genome of little millet (Panicum sumatrense) has been decoded 1 for the first time, offering insight into the biology of one of India’s oldest — yet least studied — cereals. The ...

CHICAGO --- In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed ...
