Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

Many regions help control when and where genes are active. A genetic variant is a change in the DNA sequence. When a variant occurs in reproductive cells, it can be passed from parent to child and ...

Long-read sequencing technologies analyse long, continuous stretches of DNA. These methods have the potential to improve researchers' ability to detect complex genetic alterations in cancer genomes.
