With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone books.

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon—using a cellular platform that they developed ...

The main categories of such databases are described in the sections that follow. The aforementioned general genome browsers include genomes and annotations for dozens of species in their databases ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with teams from Lund University and the Center for Regenerative ...

Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of genes in the human genome, Human Genome Project researchers initially counted protein-coding genes—regions of chromosomal DNA that are ...

Known as GRCr8, this updated genome assembly enhances the ability to study human diseases, behaviors and genetic traits more precisely. The study titled "Construction and evaluation of a new rat ...

In general, rearrangements of heterochromatic ... of structural variation to the overall heterogeneity of the human genome is considerable. Initial studies, which have scanned only a portion ...

The technology was announced at the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco. In this project, the stakeholders aim to use a human reference genome to combine with patient data in order to try ...

To further understand the genetic underpinnings of longevity and negligible aging, researchers at Gloucester Marine Genomics ...
