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.

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

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 ...

A Silicon Valley startup called Helix is betting on the notion that not only do people want to learn more about their DNA, but they’ll also pay to keep interacting with it. Today the company ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. Human genome mapping uncovers 50,000 mysterious DNA structures ...

In May 2010, a team of scientists announced that they had created synthetic life. The researchers had used four bottles of chemicals to build an entire bacterial genome from scratch, then ...

Golden Helix Launches Free Genome Browser, Expands Reach into Sequencing Market BOZEMAN, Mont.--Today Golden Helix announced the availability of GenomeBrowse™, a revolutionary new genomic ...

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 ...

Big things can sometimes come in small packages. A small fern has broken the record for the largest genome yet known, researchers report May 31 in iScience.The plant’s full set of genetic ...

University of Southampton scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal—a revolutionary data storage format that can survive for billions of years.

Tmesipteris oblanceolata has the largest known genome on Earth. As the researchers described in a study published on Friday, the fern’s cells contain more than 50 times as much DNA as ours do.

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 ...
