Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley and Tel-Aviv University have devised a mathematical formula that can be used to protect genetic privacy while giving researchers access to raw data. The report is published in this month's issue of Nature Genetics.
A single cell in a 1-millimeter nematode worm is providing valuable new clues into cancer's deadliest behavior -- its ability to put down roots in new tissues after spreading throughout the body.
Cost of Decoding a Genome Is Lowered, New York Times
A Stanford engineer has invented a new technology for decoding DNA and used it to decode his own genome for less than $50,000. he engineer, Stephen R. Quake, says the low cost "will democratize access to the fruits of the genome revolution" by enabling many labs and hospitals to decode whole human genomes.
