Dr Joyce Ohm discusses the ethical questions raised by genome sequencing, from data ownership to reporting mutations of unknown significance. This is part 3 of an interview. Watch part 1 and part 2.

Boston Children's Hospital, along with Broad Clinical Labs and Roche Sequencing Solutions, has demonstrated that rapid genomic sequencing and interpretation are achievable in a matter of hours. This ...

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

Dr Joyce Ohm explains how sequencing tumor genomes reveals the mutations needed to design targeted cell and gene therapies for cancer patients. In part 2 of this interview, Joyce Ohm, PhD, explains ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

For researchers on the hunt for the genetic roots of disease, the cost of deep whole-genome sequencing makes it challenging ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

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 than four hours. The 3-hour 57-minute ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...
