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 ...

The Synthetic Human Genome, or Syn HG, a project launched on June 26th, aims to change that. Funded partly by Wellcome, a ...

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 ...

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.

A DNA molecule consists of two strands of these chemicals that are tied together into a double-helix shape. ... The Z-genome was present in more than 200 different types of bacteriophages.

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

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 ...

Synthetic Human Genome (SynHG) project sparks fears that rogue scientists could create enhanced ‘super humans’ in decades to ...

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 ...

The human genetic code will be built from scratch by British scientists in a controversial new research project. The £10 ...

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 ...

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 ...
