Developed by Jérôme Arnoux and colleagues, PANORAMA is a computational tool designed to explore bacterial pangenomes—the complete collection of genetic possibilities found across a species or group of related organisms. Instead of looking at every...
Researchers developed GIPSy2, a computer tool that acts like a detective. It scans bacterial DNA and looks for unusual patterns that might show where a genomic island is hiding.
Imagine a library containing the story of every living species on Earth. Millions of books, each written in a language we are only beginning to understand.
Imagine opening a metagenomic dataset and finding millions of DNA fragments, each carrying a tiny piece of information about the microbial world inside a sample. The challenge is not generating the data — it is turning that data into a meaningful...
A fascinating new study published in Science (https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aef8874?) introduces a computational method called TRACE, which allows scientists to search modern human genomes for genetic traces of ancient populations that...
Genomics is moving beyond the traditional approach of studying DNA using a single reference genome. Today, researchers are increasingly using pangenomes, which represent genetic information from multiple genomes and capture a much broader range of...
