Scientists have reached a new milestone in decoding the human genome, unlocking complex regions once believed to be too difficult to study. Researchers used long-read sequencing to analyze the DNA of ...

Scientists say they have finally assembled the full genetic blueprint for human life, adding the missing pieces to a puzzle nearly completed two decades ago. An international team described the ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully decoded the DNA of the giant moa, a bird that roamed New Zealand before its extinction hundreds of years ago. This discovery, ...

The new round of industrial revolution requires a significant transformation in the mode of materials research and development. Materials genome engineering, aimed at accelerating the R&D of new ...

With a background in biology and genetics, Cao saw the chip's potential for genetic analysis and for decoding the human genome. In late 2003, he left his junior research-associate post at Princeton, ...
