Haplotype Resolution Without References
Researchers have developed a method that can resolve haploid sequences without using a reference genome, paving the way for the assembly of more complex genomes.
How The Grass Carp Went Vegetarian
The draft genome suggests that differences in the mevalonate pathway and steroid biosynthesis in liver aided the grass carp's transition from a carnivorous to a herbivorous diet.
Redefining The Genetic Landscape Of Pancreatic Cancer
Classifying pancreatic cancer into four subtypes based on whole genome sequencing could help improve the specificity of existing treatments.
Hot On The Trail Of The Hepatitis-Liver Cancer Connection
Infection with hepatitis viruses leads to the same genetic profile in tumors, even if they look different histologically.
How Pigs Adapted To Altitude
A whole-genome sequencing study has undercovered the genes that helped pigs adapt to hot and cold environments at different altitudes.
Genome Of Anti-Cancer Fungus Sequenced
Known to be rich in anti-tumor terpenes, the Antrodia cinnamomea fungus has had its genome sequenced.
The Chromosomal Catastrophes Behind Esophageal Cancer
A study using whole genome sequencing has shown that esophageal cancer patients have highly mutated and rearranged genomes.
