Phylogenetic analysis and DNA sequence representation are foundational pillars in modern molecular biology and bioinformatics. These approaches not only facilitate the reconstruction of evolutionary ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has ...

Metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) is a powerful diagnostic tool to detect causative pathogens in clinical microbiological testing. Rapid and accurate classification of metagenomic sequences is a critical ...

For the first time ever, DNA was successfully sequenced in microgravity as part of the Biomolecule Sequencer experiment performed by NASA astronaut Kate Rubins this weekend aboard the International ...

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...
