Bioinformaticians use a combination of mathematics, computer science and biology to help scientists make sense of the data gathered from research projects. The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Wondering which bioinformatics job is right for you? Bioinformatics Analyst.

USC researchers have achieved a better way to identify elusive DNA variants responsible for genetic changes affecting cell functions and diseases. Using computational biology tools, scientists at the university’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences studied “variable-number tandem repeats” (VNTR) in DNA.

For scientists, digging into feces provides insights into animal diets and is particularly useful for understanding nocturnal or rare species. When animals eat, prey DNA travels all the way through animal digestive tracts and comes out again. Credit: Illustration by Amy Koehler Poop is full of secrets.

Researchers have found a simple way to eliminate almost all sequencing errors produced by a widely used portable DNA sequencer, potentially enabling scientists working outside the lab to study and track microorganisms like the SARS-CoV-2 virus more efficiently.

Many tumours have a higher number of mutations due to a antiviral defence mechanism, the APOBEC system, which can accidentally damage DNA and cause mutations. Credit: IRB Barcelona In cancer, personalised medicine takes advantage of the unique genetic changes in an individual tumour to find its vulnerabilities and fight it.

The human genome is too long to be sequenced as one continuous string by current technology – so short-read sequencing breaks DNA into short fragments that are amplified and then sequenced to produce ‘reads’ of around 150 nucleotides in length. To address these issues, scientists and clinicians are starting to look at ‘long-read’ sequencing.
