Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Venter led the private effort to sequence the human genome and created the first synthetic bacterial cell while launching ...

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...

The National Academy of Sciences announced today the election of 120 members and 25 international members in recognition of ...

Scientists have cracked open some of the most mysterious corners of our DNA, revealing that parts of the human genome mutate at a far faster pace than previously imagined. By studying four generations ...
