Tandem repeats are segments of DNA in which short nucleotide motifs are repeated in contiguous blocks. These repeated sequences—particularly short tandem repeats (STRs) composed of 1–6 base pair ...

Engineers have developed two new graph-based computational tools for tracking genomic variation within microbiomes. Since the first microbial genome was sequenced in 1995, scientists have ...

A dendritic cell and a T-cell are depicted dancing in the foreground, under the dazzling lights reflected from a disco ball. In the background, a malignant cancer cell is depicted dancing with another ...

Investigators at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a machine learning strategy that has shown the potential to predict cases of early-stage lung or liver cancers in humans, by ...

Recombination of repeated sequences in the human genome is widespread and results in the genomic diversity that underlies physiology and pathology, scientists at the RIKEN Center for Integrative ...

Gary Skuse has received funding from the National Science Foundation. The Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing, a three-day conference organized by the Royal Society, the U.K. Academy of ...
