When it comes to making decisions about sharing individual genetic research results, people living with HIV have strong opinions. A study in Uganda asked 221 people receiving HIV care what role they wanted in deciding how to get information from genetic research. Most participants (122, 55. 2%) want
The Siberian crane, a beautiful yet critically endangered waterbird, is facing a tough time. Its population has been declining due to changes in climate over time, which has led to a loss of genetic diversity and an increase in inbreeding. This means the birds are more likely to have harmful genetic
In the high-stakes world of genomic research, data is the key to unlocking life's mysteries. But dealing with massive amounts of DNA data can be a real headache for scientists. That's where MiLaboratories, a startup from San Francisco, steps in. They've created a special platform that makes it easie
