Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...

PanMAN data structures compress pangenomes massively, encode evolutionary histories, and enable scalable analysis of millions of genomes.

Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Cardiology, a group of researchers identified rare predicted loss-of-function variants associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and elucidated their ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Heart diseases are growing at an alarming pace around the world. As per a World Health Organisation report from July 31, 2025, 19.8 million people died from cardiovascular disease just in 2022.

Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...

A big federal research project aimed at reducing racial disparities in genetic research has unveiled the program's first major trove of results. "This is a huge deal," says Dr. Joshua Denny, who runs ...
