For many scientists, the first glimpse of a DNA sequence—those colored peaks marking A, T, C, and G—sparked a lifelong fascination with the code that shapes us all. That same spirit of discovery ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Officially unveiled at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2025 meeting held in Boston, Genomics has launched Mystra, an AI-enabled human genetics platform designed to accelerate drug target ...
