Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

The detection of rare variants or mutations in the human genome can take time and cost a lot of money. In recent years, scientists and clinicians have been aiming to make the process cheaper and ...

The return of the long-extinct wooly mammoth or dodo bird may sound like a storyline straight out of science fiction. It’s not. Several de-extinction projects all share an ambitious aim to resurrect ...
