A Vancouver-based research team will contribute to an international project mapping the DNA of patients with ALS in the hope of finding a cure. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, affects neurons ...

U.S. Optical Genome Mapping Market is projected to reach USD 828.09 Million by 2035, while Europe is expected to reach USD ...

A major cardiovascular risk factor is thickening of the heart walls (hypertrophy), which can result from high blood pressure—but is also linked to inherited diseases of the heart which can lead to ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today announced that studies featuring optical genome mapping (OGM) at the 2026 European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) conference grew substantially compared ...

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant genomes influences gene expression—especially in photosynthesis. The research, ...

Gene mapping is the discipline devoted to determining the linear order and chromosomal coordinates of genes and other genomic elements. Traditional genetic mapping employs linkage analysis, in which ...

Spoorti Gandhadmath carefully placed 3.5-inch (8.9-centimeter) pots on a shelf in a growth chamber. Within seven days of ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have completed a massive genetic study that identifies key biological drivers of cocaine addiction, uncovering a potential new target for ...

Closing the rare disease diagnostic gap can improve patient care and outcomes. Did you know that one in 10 Americans have a ...
