A groundbreaking DNA study has unveiled a hidden chapter in human evolution, revealing that all modern humans evolved from two ancient and distinct groups. This research, published in March 2025, ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

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

Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the field of pangenomics to handle unprecedented scales of genetic information. The ...
