Eleven hospital trusts named in DNA sequencing project

The NHS has named the first 11 hospital trusts that will map DNA on a scale never before attempted by sequencing the genomes of tens of thousands of patients, in a project that promises to transform the understanding of cancer and rare diseases. As part of the three-year initiative, an estimated

Restoring crop genes to wild form may make plants more resilient

Reinstating genes lost during domestication can make crops tougher and provides an alternative to using foreign genes to modify plants, Danish researchers say. New techniques that tinker with DNA, swapping in genes from undomesticated relatives, can make crops more similar to their original wild
