Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Open-access databases such as the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) contain more than 2.4 million bacterial genomes, and this number continues to grow rapidly. Until now, searching these vast ...

A breakthrough by researchers at Peter Mac will allow scientists to detect, analyze and profile cancer tumors in patients via a simple blood test. The Dawson lab at Peter Mac has developed a method ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

Researchers at EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) have developed a new machine learning method called SAVANA that significantly reduces sequencing errors for cancer genomes. Long-read ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn Medicine) have successfully employed an algorithm to identify ...
