Dozens of health systems representing millions of patients across the United States are collaborating with the Truveta Genome Project, Regeneron Genetics Center and genomic sequencing company Illumina ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

For the tens of millions of Americans affected by a rare disease, their genes often hold the key to getting the answers they desperately need; from helping them obtain an accurate diagnosis, to ...

Incorporating genomic sequencing and genetic counseling could benefit children with rare, relapsed, or refractory cancer, according to investigators. The study was published in the September 1 issue ...

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This ...

Every cancer carries a unique genetic fingerprint: variations in DNA known as “somatic variants” that occur in tumor DNA but are absent from the patient’s healthy cells. While some cancers may also ...

Despite advances, whole genome sequencing — and with it the promise of early, life-altering therapies — still isn’t a routine part of care for most newborns. Many babies enter the world with silent ...

Researchers from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity claim to be the first to demonstrate the use of genome sequencing in tracking and receiving quick insights into bacterial ...
