Alternative splicing exhibits lineage-specific variability, with mammals and birds reaching the highest levels despite conserved intron-rich architectures, while unicellular eukaryotes and prokaryotes ...

FRIDAY, Oct. 17, 2025 (HealthDay News) — A new Guinness World Record for fastest whole human genome sequencing has been achieved, with researchers breaking down a patient’s genetic profile in less ...

The Broad Institute gene-sequencing lab used Roche equipment to read infants’ DNA genomes in less than four hours, cutting an hour off the previous Guinness World Record.

Preserving DNA in biological samples has long posed a challenge for researchers, but the process may be about to get a lot easier.

The startup, launched out of CEO Kevin Parker’s grad school idyll during the COVID lockdowns, is primed to find new targets where Big Pharmas won’t dare.
