In a hospital examining room in the not-too-distant future, there’s a very good chance a patient will be asked for her genome sequence. It makes sense: thanks to advances in technology, which have led ...

The sequencing landscape has evolved rapidly over the last two decades, and innovation shows no sign of slowing down.

Whole genome sequencing also provides the agency with far more information than previous tests and can be done much faster.

Genome sequencing is a comprehensive genetic test that is being integrated into health care systems internationally. Test indications include suspected genetic disorders in children and adults for ...

Researchers from the University of Toronto and the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) behind the Personal Genome Project Canada are predicting that whole genome sequencing will likely become part ...

Connecticut-based 454 Life Sciences sells genome-sequencing machines to researchers for about $500,000, but the raw data only make sense after researcher runs it through a supercomputer.

Sequencing of the human genome in 2003 was a monumental achievement. But it left us with more questions than answers: it gave scientists the three-billion-base-pair instruction manual for how a ...

While sequencing the beaver genome was meant to be a birthday present for Canada, it was also done with a more serious goal in mind: the scientists had developed a new technological approach to ...

"NysnoBio is focused on the most common cause of early-onset Parkinson's disease," Johnston says. "If you are missing this gene, it is 100 percent certain that you will get Parkinson's disease ...
