In July, Helix, the consumer genomics spin out from Illumina, launched an online personal genomics apps store for “discovering your DNA.” For merely $80, customers can have their genome ...

A new company called Helix, launched August 18 with $100 million in investments by partners including Illumina — one of the world-leaders in genome-sequencing — wants to change all that.

Rotavirus is a large and complex virus. Its genome, enclosed within three concentric capsid layers, consists of 11 segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) that code for six structural and six non ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

Golden Helix today announced the release of VarSeq 3 and VSWarehouse 3, marking a major milestone in enterprise-scale secondary and tertiary genomic analysis. The release introduces cloud-native ...

Unlike the well-known gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 – which acts as “molecular scissors” that can cut the two strands of DNA in the genome and relies on the cell’s self-healing mechanism ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular ...

Whereas CRISPR is best at making small, targeted modifications to a genome, bridge RNA gives genetic engineers a power they’ve never had before—to add, remove, invert, or rearrange large ...

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great ...
