The cost of decoding our genetic makeup has plummeted. Just because it’s affordable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worth doing ...

Genetic mutations in human DNA can prevent proteins that perform important functions in the body from being formed correctly. This can lead to serious disorders that cause disease or even disability.

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

When it comes to critical care for newborns, being able to act fast is of the utmost importance, which is why this new DNA tech is so important.

Arpita Bose and Zhecheng Zhang explore genetic tools in environmental microbes, citing applications in extracellular electron transfer ...

This summer you can add another: Gene sequencing of a corn dog. University of Minnesota researchers are aiming to crack the genetic code of the quintessential State Fair snack at the school’s Driven ...
