Timnit Gebru argues that AI companies are stoking fears of extinction to avoid discussing actual harms, like autonomous weapons.

Analysis of data from pre-implantation genetic testing sheds light on the genetic basis of meiotic-origin aneuploidy, the leading cause of human pregnancy loss, identifying common genetic variants ass...

“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Students from the Department of Computer Science will give talks and present posters on their research in genome informatics.

Human genome resequencing typically involves mapping reads to a reference genome to call variants; however, this approach suffers from both technical and reference biases, leaving many duplicated and ...

The Human Genome Project was an enormous accomplishment, providing a foundation for countless explorations into the genetics and genomics of the human species. Yet for many years, the human genome ref...

Pangenome collections are growing to hundreds of high-quality genomes. This necessitates scalable methods for constructing pangenome alignments that can incorporate newly-sequenced assemblies. We prev...
