Scientists in the US have found evidence that the ancient, Eurasian ancestors of chickens were first to colonise Australia, and that this journey was facilitated by the loss of a land bridge in Indonesia between 6,000 and 7,000 years ago
Genetic data can reveal how viruses spread and how well they have evolved
Its huge investments in genetic sequencing, sequencing the human genome and sequencing of other speciesâin this case, in the sequencing of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaeâhave yielded huge dividends
This week, a panel of experts will discuss the use of these gene sequences as a potential tool for disease prevention and control
This is important, given that rare diseases are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide
But what about technology? Researchers have known for years that there is a limit to how much data can be collected and processed
