News Release
NIH researchers have developed and released an innovative software tool, called Verso, to assemble truly complete (i.e., gapless) genome sequences from a variety of species. The software makes the process of assembling complete genome sequences more affordable and accessible.

Researchers find weaker immune response to viral infections in children with mitochondrial disorders
NIH researchers analyzed the gene activities of immune cells in children with mitochondrial disorders and found that their B cells, which produce antibodies to fight viral infections, are less able to survive cellular stress.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues have identified genomic variants that cause a rare and severe inflammatory skin disorder, known as disabling pansclerotic morphea, and have found a potential treatment.
… variants in the STAT4 gene. The STAT4 gene encodes a type of protein that helps turn genes on and off, known as a …
News Release
NIH researchers researchers and collaborators have gained some key insights into the biological inner-workings of regrowing a body, the evolution of aging and a unique method to dispose of aging cells, by studying the genomes of a hermit crab (Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus).
