An Introduction to Population Genomics
The Basics of Population Genomics
Population genomics utilizes comprehensive DNA sequence analysis on a wide scale to reveal patterns in genetic variation. It provides valuable information that can be used to better understand ancestry, health, evolution, and more. In many cases, human population genomics studies are focused on diseases and healthcare with the primary objective of finding genetic biomarkers for diagnostics and therapeutics1.

The Diverse Applications of Ancient DNA Research
For many, the idea of ancient DNA (aDNA) can invoke images from the iconic movie scene with a mosquito trapped in amber, or perhaps one of the real discoveries involving a woolly mammoth perfectly preserved in ice1. However, this field is much more than unearthing prehistoric animals or a real project working to resurrect them2. The study of aDNA is vital for interpreting the past and making sense of the present. For example, Swedish geneticist Svante Pääbo... -

Current Advances and Future Directions in Rare Disease Diagnosis
Rare diseases affect an estimated 3.5–5.9% of the global population1. Patients dealing with these conditions not only face a direct impact on their health but also frequently encounter challenges in identifying the genetic origins of their disorder. This often leaves them with limited treatment options. However, the field of rare disease diagnosis has seen significant advances with the introduction of next-generation sequencing (NGS). Essential techniques like whole-exome sequencing... -

Beyond Sequencing: The Spatial Dimensions of the Transcriptome
Spatial technologies have improved our understanding of the transcriptome by providing insights into the spatial organization and interactions of cells. While next-generation sequencing (NGS) remains an important approach and is the main focus of our community, its data alone is unable to resolve unique spatial information. Jacob Stern, Director of Product Management at 10X Genomics, emphasized how numerous researchers choose to use both spatial platforms and single-cell...
