Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

Despite decades of chasing leads, investigators had been unable to identify the victim of a 1992 homicide on the North Side.

A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the ...

When scientists sequence tumor DNA, they typically find small amounts of genetic code from bacteria, viruses and fungi – microorganisms that, if actually present in tumor tissues, could influence how ...

The rise of gene editing forces regulators to confront a difficult question: How to protect fair play in the age of genomic medicine.

Engineered DNA can store massive amounts of data while also encrypting it, opening the door to ultra-secure, long-term ...

For more than a century, scientists and conservationists have tried to bring back the American chestnut, a tree once so common it shaped forests across the eastern United States.

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.
