From Science Daily

"The Human Genome Project opened the doors for researchers to investigate entire genomic DNA complement using next-generation sequencing technology. However, more struggles appeared with these advancements. For example, it is hard to pinpoint which variant is causing disease among 40 million variations of our DNA. Studying healthy populations helps us to eliminate many of these common variations from consideration. Thus, we studied both patients and their healthy relatives in the Turkish population."

From Science Daily

Researchers then extracted genomic DNA from the sponge samples using a genotyping method based on sequencing uniform fragments called 2b-RAD.

From Science Daily

Despite the rapid advances in genomics in the past few decades, there are obstacles remaining in our ability to engineer genomic DNA.

From Science Daily

Genome editing, or gene editing, refers to technologies that allow researchers to change the genomic DNA of an organism.
