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 ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

SAN DIEGO, June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bionano Genomics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNGO) today announced that studies featuring optical genome mapping (OGM) at the 2026 European Society of Human Genetics ...

From southbound cane toads to invasive weeds and fluctuating fish stocks, a novel technique called eDNA has revealed what's in NSW waterways—and how it's influenced by natural disasters. The major ...

Current approaches to mapping fork progression in the human genome suffer from drastically low throughput. Here, we introduce ForkML, a nanopore sequencing-based method automatically positioning ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer. DNA is well-known for its double helix shape. But the human genome ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life's code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) 1,2 overcomes the resolution limit of conventional light microscopy by switching on only a few fluorescent molecules at a time, so that their signals do ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification crucial to normal development, with its dysregulation leading to various diseases including cancer. As interest in epigenomics grows, an innovative ...

A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by ...

This image depicts the detection of structural variants (SVs) at low sequencing coverage in both unique and repetitive regions by genomic proximity mapping (GPM), compared with other SV-calling ...
