News Release
NIH researchers have identified a gene that makes yeast resistant to a lethal toxin.
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.
