Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

PanMAN data structures compress pangenomes massively, encode evolutionary histories, and enable scalable analysis of millions of genomes.

Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

Engineers at UC San Diego have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the field of pangenomics ...

A number of studies have highlighted that ethnicity is an important factor influencing the genetic variability of some CYP450 enzymes and that human adaptation could have a role in shaping the genetic ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...
