A research team has decoded the genome of historic potato cultivars and used this resource to develop an efficient method for analysis of hundreds of additional potato genomes. A research team has ...

Researchers have successfully employed an algorithm to identify potential mutations which increase disease risk in the noncoding regions our DNA, which make up the vast majority of the human genome.

Blood samples were collected from about 20,000 individuals, of which DNA samples from 10,074 individuals were subjected to whole genome sequencing. About 100 samples were collected from each ...

Colossal's internal and unpublished analysis suggested that key differences could be made by editing 14 different areas of the genome, with 20 total edits required. The new animals are reported to ...

The findings were published online by the American Journal of Human Genetics. While certain sections of the human genome code for proteins to carry out a variety of essential biological functions, ...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has suspended its quality control program that tests milk and other dairy products. The Food Emergency Response Network Proficiency Testing Program is ...

A 2021 effort to obtain DNA from old bones had yielded only a tiny amount, not enough to accurately decode the genome in detail. And without a detailed gene map, Colossal wouldn’t be able see ...

"When people read about repairing genetic material, they often think of it as being in response to exposure to toxins or radiation," says Jacob Corn, Professor of Genome Biology at ETH Zurich.
