The genome is the full genetic complement of an organism, encoded in either DNA or, in many viruses, RNA. It includes both the genes and non-coding sequences.

In this case, the team spelled out the entire human genome using the four letters that represent the nucleotides, or bases, of DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T).

University of Southampton scientists have stored the full human genome on a 5D memory crystal—a revolutionary data storage format that can survive for billions of years. The team hope that the ...

Genome evolution is the process by which a genome changes in structure over time, through mutation, horizontal gene transfer, and sexual reproduction. The study of genome evolution involves ...

Kazansky’s team used ultra-fast lasers to inscribe the human genome data into voids as small as 20 nanometers (a nanometer is about one-billionth of a meter). They describe the data storage on ...

Much smaller genome editing tool It was recently discovered that Cas proteins evolved from much smaller proteins, with TnpB being the progenitor of Cas12. Since the large size of Cas proteins ...

Scientists have mapped the genome of the Greenland shark, which could offer clues to the animal’s extreme longevity. By Jonathan Moens The Greenland shark is not exactly charismatic. Its hulking ...

Fish are considered objective indicators of environmental health and ecosystem stability. Establishing regional reference databases of mitochondrial genome sequences from local fish communities can ...

The compact TnpB protein has previously been shown to work for genome editing in human cells, albeit with low efficiency and limited targeting ability due to its recognition requirements when ...

The recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies and genomic tools have revolutionized the understanding of biological research. The generation of a complete genome and other genomic resources in ...
