The research team improved the genome assembly by integrating long reads and Hi-C data.

Recent improvements in sequencing technologies have dramatically improved the quality of genome assemblies across diverse species.

Recent studies suggest that genome size correlates with developmental time in many plant species.

Researchers warned that a genome transplant, in which DNA from one species is inserted into a cell of another species and the original cells are destroyed after repeated division of the hybrid cells, raises complex ethical issues.

After years of research, genome transplants are finally being tested in clinical trials to correct inherited metabolic disorders.

The Human Genome Project provided researchers with a complete reference sequence that has accelerated discoveries in genetics and personalized medicine.

Researchers found that whole-genome duplication in the plant lineage coincided with a surge in genetic novelty.

Researchers found evidence that ancient whole-genome duplications contributed to the rapid diversification of flowering plants.

The genomicists worked late into the night analyzing large datasets to identify new genetic markers.

The genomicist explained how gene mapping could help predict disease risks.
