Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

The GoE project was initiated in response to the rapidly growing use of genetic data in research and clinical applications, and the lack of a whole genome sequence (WGS) reference dataset for Europe.

At the very beginning of autumn 2019, an international team, including the French, succeeded in deciphering the pea genome. For the average person, this means very little. After all, how complicated ...

Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known as constraint modeling, which allows researchers to assess the degree of ...

The sweet potato feeds millions worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where its natural resilience to climate extremes makes it crucial for food security. But this humble root vegetable has ...

Twenty-five years ago this week, President Bill Clinton stood before a podium in the East Room of the White House, and, in front of an all-star lineup of researchers and dignitaries, made a historic ...
