Structural variants in the human genome include cytogenetically detectable and submicroscopic deletions, duplications, large-scale copy-number variants, inversions and translocations. The ability ...

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the human genetic diversity of the CYP450 superfamily in order to identify functional interethnic differences and analyze the role of CYP450 enzymes in ...

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more ...

Scientists have systematically studied human genetic variation for decades, looking at differences in the DNA of people around the world. These studies definitively demonstrate that we are far ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days — in a single test and at a much lower cost.
