Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

DNA methylation is a highly studied epigenetic modification that regulates genome function and plays key roles in development and disease 1. It is linked to a broad range of conditions, including ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind to the genome. Transposons play critical roles in immune response, ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex diseases.

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

I didn't even know 'Dark Genomes' existed.

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play ...

Researchers reprogrammed bacterial bridge recombinases to edit large genomic regions in mammalian cells, revealing a ...
