NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

April 14, 2025 – Genome Research (https://genome.org) publishes a second special issue highlighting advances in long-read sequencing applications in biology and medicine. In this second Special Issue, ...

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 ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

Like many cancer patients, Michael Wolff wanted answers. But, like many cancer patients in 2015, he wasn't getting them. After years of lymphoma treatment, the renowned jazz musician was still sick ...
