When Napoleon’s once invincible army limped out of Russia in winter 1812, frostbite and hunger were merely half the story. Historians have debated for more than two centuries over which diseases killed so many soldiers on that disastrous retreat.

A new tool developed at, MetaGraph, allows scientists to search through vast public DNA and RNA databases in seconds — like a “Google for DNA.” DNA sequencing has transformed biomedical research, maki

Miami University’s Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) has become one of the first institutions in the region to acquire the PacBio VEGA Benchtop System — a cutting-edge DNA sequencer currently found in only 20 laboratories nationwide.

WEST MICHIGAN — October is Menopause Awareness Month, and the focus on the role of DNA sequencing in women's health during menopause is an emerging frontier of medicine. Women often face a wave of new medical diagnoses in their midlife, from ...

Boston researchers sequenced a full human genome in record time, under four hours. The advance could speed life-saving diagnoses for newborns in intensive care. Boston Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with Broad Clinical Labs and Roche Sequencing Solutions,

DNA recovered from 1,000-year-old dried feces indicates that intestinal infections from pinworm or Shingella may have plagued ancient people living in present day northern Mexico’s Rio Zape Valley. The DNA and what it tells us is detailed in a study published today in the journal PLOS One.

The Broad Institute gene-sequencing lab used Roche equipment to read infants’ DNA genomes in less than four hours, cutting an hour off the previous Guinness World Record.

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that is involved in regulating genome function and plays fundamental roles in development and disease. 1 It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including inflammation, neurological disorders ...
