ATCC genome portal provides access to reference-quality genomes, enabling increased confidence in research

Recent findings involving the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans mark a major milestone in the field of 'connectomics'

How life's first step happens has long fascinated developmental biologists

The bacterium was isolated from a British soldier and stored for more than 100 years before being revived and sequenced

Horseshoe crabs were thought to be ancestors of the arachnids, but molecular sequence data have always been sparse enough to cast doubt

Currently, the study of ancient DNA requires a lot of information to classify a skeleton to a population or find its biogeographical origins

Researchers have already concluded that a mere one percent of the human genome is made up of the genes that make the proteins our bodies need to grow and function

A legal battle over a 10,600-year-old ancient skeleton has ended after advanced DNA sequencing found it was related to a Native American tribe

Enzyme can target almost half of the genome's "zipcodes" and could enable editing of many more disease-specific mutations

More than a million species of fungi are estimated to live on this planet, but most of that diversity remains unknown
