A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, the widely ...

One of the biggest hurdles in microbiology research is ensuring that the genomic data you use is accurate and traceable. When data comes from unverified sources, it can lead to misidentification, ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced the launch of a new crowd-sourced, cloud-based platform, precisionFDA, to enable developers of genomic sequencing diagnostics to share data and ...

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: confusion over reference sequences. These sequences serve as blueprints for ...

The diagram illustrates a framework for cloud-based GWAS data resources, structured in a hub-and-spoke architecture with "Cloud-Based GWAS Data Resources" at its core—interconnected with six ...

In an attempt to diversify the types of genomic data used in studies of diseases — which has typically been sourced from Caucasians — researchers at the University of Southern California are working ...

UCLA Health will soon begin a pilot project with Seattle-based startup ActX that will integrate genomic patient data into its Epic EHR system, with the eventual intent of applying precision medicine ...

Scientists have achieved a world first by loading a complete genome onto a quantum computer – a major step towards using quantum computing to tackle some of biology’s most complex bioinformatic ...

Egypt has completed its first large-scale genome study, analyzing the full genetic makeup of 1,024 citizens from 21 ...

The study sheds new light on the genetics of chronic kidney disease (CKD) across diverse African populations and will support ...
