Research led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London is signaling a new era for genetic sequencing and testing. In the largest study of its kind to date, published today in Nature Medicine, ...

Many cellular processes, including transcription and DNA replication, critically depend on chromatin structure, the three-dimensional organization of DNA that includes nucleosome positioning and ...

Parabon® NanoLabs' Dr. Ellen Greytak will be a featured speaker in the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI)'s Webinar "Emerging DNA Techniques." Reston, Va. (March 2018) - Parabon® NanoLabs, a ...

In a new article, researchers explain their work on computer-assisted approaches towards surveillance and consequent design of drugs and vaccines to combat the growth and spread of the Zika virus. The ...

Translational bioinformatics is the science of collecting, representing, storing, retrieving, and processing data and knowledge for improving human health. This research area focuses on the interface ...

The declining cost and increasing accessibility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) have led to the permeation of these techniques throughout the life sciences. The sequencing data generated from many ...

As the rate of sequencing increases, greater throughput is demanded from read aligners. The full-text minute index is often used to make alignment very fast and memory-efficient, but the approach is ...

Researchers at DESY’s Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, along with colleagues from around the world, recently showed that laser-induced alignment can be accomplished to significantly improve ...
