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 ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

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

Like nanopore sequencing, HiFi produces long reads that can be used for de novo genome assembly or to identify structural variants, but it achieves improved accuracy by circularizing a long DNA ...

"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 ...

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