Agilent, comprehensive next-generation sequencing solutions

Researchers create the world's largest ancient human gene bank, linking genes to multiple sclerosis risk and tracing its origins to migrations 5,000 years ago.

Changes to DNA, known as mutations, can increase the likelihood of developing cancer. Specifically, people with mutations in their BRCA 1 and 2 genes are substantially more likely to develop hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. But how do people know if they have these mutations?

In a landmark study of more than 13,000 patients, scientists discovered numerous ways sequencing a person’s genome could help tailor their care.

A recent study led by Hidenori Machino at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) and the National Cancer Center Research Institute in Japan used a big data multi-omics analysis to examine changes in gene expression as cells from human fallopian tubes become cancerous.

A genome-wide study of 402,398 individuals identifies 369 SNPs associated with insulin resistance, offering insights into metabolic diseases and potential therapeutic targets.

For the first time, researchers have analyzed the impact of antibiotic use on the rise of treatment-resistant bacteria over the last 20 years in the UK and Norway. They show that while the increase in drug use has amplified the spread of superbugs, it is not the only driver.

New gene editing therapies approved for the treatment of sickle cell disease

Research reveals pangolins' vulnerability to coronavirus due to innate immune gene pseudogenization, impacting their antiviral response.

Mohawks. this is dumb. we made dogs cute. they were once majestic foxes and we gave them recessive geans. genes. they cant have babies anymore without a c-section. thats not evolution. cats dont do that. 15 minutes outside of the door, they are free and out. we dumbed them down and changed their faces. we are cruel as [bleep]. its not evolution. no one evolves smaller. >> greg: i have a french bull dog. he is a frankenstein monster. look at that. thats not natural. >> greg: that was supposed to ...
