The Latest Breaking News from Genome

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A new study from a Danish research team offers a possible clue. When they looked beyond the bacterium itself and into…

Live Science spoke with a bioethicist and sociologist about emerging genomic technologies, including those that enable parents to "score" and "select" IVF embryos.

AlphaGenome can analyse up to 1m letters of DNA code at once and could pave way for new treatments

‘This could add another piece of the puzzle for the discovery of drug targets and ultimately, the development of new drugs,’ says research engineer, Natasha Latysheva

Decoded genome of meat in pup’s stomach helps scientists build picture of what caused extinction of species

More than 14,000 years ago, a wolf pup ate a piece of woolly rhino. Scientists have analyzed the rhino's DNA to figure out why it went extinct.

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in the body.

At the core of CTOAM's work, Morand explains, is a precision oncology process that integrates multiple diagnostic tools into a single, coordinated pathway. The company supports tumor DNA and RNA sequencing, whole genome liquid biopsies for real-time monitoring, and advanced imaging, including PET-CT scans, depending on what each individual case…

The genetic link between squids and octopuses may just be found in the vampire squid genome.
