This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.

Key opportunities lie in next-generation sequencing methods, with hospitals as major end-users and North America as a ...

Researchers from Stockholm University have—for the first time ever—managed to successfully isolate and sequence RNA molecules from Ice Age woolly mammoths. These RNA sequences are the oldest ever ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Plasmidsaurus has launched a new RNA-Seq service for Illumina short read applications, bringing the same approach they use for plasmid sequencing to gene expression analysis. Attendees at this week’s ...

RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

April 14, 2025 – Genome Research (https://genome.org) publishes a second special issue highlighting advances in long-read sequencing applications in biology and medicine. In this second Special Issue, ...

Researchers have sequenced the oldest RNA ever recovered, taken from a woolly mammoth frozen for nearly 40,000 years. The RNA reveals which genes were active in its tissues, offering a rare glimpse ...

Scientists have recovered ancient molecules of RNA from a juvenile mammoth named Yuka, who died 40,000 years ago in what is now Siberia. These biological remnants are providing insight into the last ...

A young woolly mammoth now known as Yuka was frozen in the Siberian permafrost for about 40,000 years before it was discovered by local tusk hunters in 2010. The hunters soon handed it over to ...
