Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have ...

Scientists have decoded the sea spider’s genome for the first time, revealing how its strangely shaped body—with organs in ...

Plant reproduction is a cornerstone of our food system and ecological balance; however, it is a complex process. Plants have ...

Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin- Madison have created the first chromosome-level ...

An international collaboration featuring the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has led to ...

Scientists just sequenced the first sea spider genome, uncovering genetic clues to limb growth, regeneration, and ancient ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic ...

"Genome assembly is essentially like building a jigsaw, piece by piece. T2T genome assemblies provide a complete, end-to-end picture of a genome in its entirety," Professor Varshney said.

Sequencing the entire human genome has opened new avenues in genetic research. The T2T Consortium recently finished a complete assembly of a human Y chromosome and non-human ape genomes, and McCoy's ...

Scientists have long sought to understand why sea spiders keep some of their most important organs in their legs.

De novo genome assembly is a sophisticated computational technique that constructs entire genetic sequences from scratch rather than relying on pre-existing genome references.
