There’s no wrong time or place to remind people that it’s time to stop seeing ourselves as having one complete human genome reference! One genome sequence can’t possibly represent everyone’s diversity.

They are not an unlikely duo, but rather a perfect, complementary pair! DNA and RNA are very similar, but they have unique biological roles. RNA and DNA are both a type of molecule called a nucleic acid, but their structures are different in subtle ways.

How are researchers using genomic data to discover rare genetic conditions? At our Genomic Innovators Seminar, Jessica Chong and Melissa Haendel will discuss how researchers can use data to discover hundreds of genomic variants associated with rare diseases and improve disease diagnoses.

RNA is…complicated. If it’s not confusing enough that there are many types of RNA, some RNA molecules also fold into different shapes that help their stability and functions. Not to worry! We break it all down for you in our new fact sheet:

You know when you have a perfect container of strawberries but there is one moldy one that could make the rest of the batch go moldy? Aging cells are like that! When one cell starts to age biologically, it will send out molecular signals to other cells to start aging faster.

What is actually involved in sequencing a genome? We got the top experts at National Human Genome Research Institute to show you how! They brought some fun props along, including a toy syringe, a leaf blower, noodles and fake mustaches. Watch them sequence in 7 “easy” steps!
