A new RapidHIT ID machine, which bears a passing resemblance to an air fryer, can generate a human DNA profile in about 90 ...

“We’re only just beginning to understand the full majesty of life on Earth,” wrote the founding members of the Earth BioGenome Project in 2018. The ambitious project raised eyebrows when first ...

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 ...

The oldest sediment DNA discovered so far comes from Greenland and is 2 million years old.

In a breakthrough that turns routine radiation monitoring into a biodiversity time capsule, researchers have extracted ...

Sequencing an entirely complete human genome has been the work of decades. Twenty years ago, the Human Genome Project (HGP) declared their work finished, with an asterisk. Even a decade later, fully ...

The Genome 10K Community of Scientists and BGI (formerly the Beijing Genomics Institute) of Shenzhen, China, have announced a plan to sequence the genomes of 101 vertebrate species within the next two ...

Researchers analyzed airborne DNA trapped on air filters collected since the 1960s in northern Sweden. Sequencing identified ...

Scientists used decades old air filters to read DNA in dust, revealing a long decline in biodiversity across northern Sweden.
