Genetic studies now identify millions of variants across human populations, yet most disease-associated signals fall outside protein-coding regions. This ...

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

Living organisms share an ancestor called the last universal common ancestor, or LUCA. LUCA is estimated to have lived ...

BEIJING -- Chinese scientists have launched an ambitious international megascience project to decode the genetic blueprint of ...

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

Deep-learning model decodes the regulatory effects of DNA changes ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Abstract: Based on binary encoding and dynamic parameter encoding methods, taking advantages of the binary logical operation characteristic of computer, a dynamic byte encoding genetic algorithm ...

Department of Biological, Chemical and Environmental Sciences, Wheaton College Massachusetts, Norton, MA, United States Population geneticists increasingly confront a paradox: even with genome-scale ...

Scientists have discovered that a gene called MUC19, inherited from Denisovans through ancient interbreeding, may have played a vital role in helping Indigenous ancestors adapt as they migrated into ...
