The UCSC Genome Browser has added two new datasets that leverage the power of generative AI and machine learning to interpret information about genetic variants and more rapidly assess which ones ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, researchers introduced the Genomic Pre-trained Network (GPN), a multispecies model developed to learn genome-wide variant effects by self-supervised ...

ERS Genomics signed a nonexclusive license agreement with Santa Cruz Biotechnology (SCBT) granting SCBT access to the ERS CRISPR/Cas9 patent portfolio. ERS founder, Emmanuelle Charpentier ...

UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome -- a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic material of ...

UC Santa Cruz scientists, along with a consortium of researchers, have released a draft of the first human pangenome — a new, usable reference for genomics that combines the genetic material of 47 ...

T2T-CHM13 is now available on the UCSC Genome Browser for everyone to enjoy, complimenting the standard human reference genome, GRCh38. The new reference genome was created using two modern ...

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) have now reported on what they suggest is the first-ever method for analyzing RNA sequencing data genome-wide using a “pantranscriptome,” which combines a ...

When UC Santa Cruz postdoctoral scholar Merly Escalona assembled the first-ever reference genome for the Stephen Colbert Trapdoor Spider, she was shocked by the dataset's unexpectedly large size.

SANTA CRUZ – After nearly 40 years of work, scientists have finally completed sequencing the human genome and UC Santa Cruz was at the center of it all. The completion of the sequence gives an ...
