Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

OCTOBER 10, 2024, NEW YORK – A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome—one that contributes to ...

Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

Dwarfism is a genetic mutation that affects bone and cartilage growth, often stunting them. The mutation occurs across many mammal species, including cats. Since cats are already relatively small ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...
