The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer. DNA is well-known for its double helix shape. But the human genome ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

A massive new genetic analysis reveals that the biological traits underlying autism risk are the same across people of ...

Understanding the genetic blueprint of a population is one of the central challenges of modern biomedical science. In Cyprus, ...

Researchers have built a platform that programs short DNA fragments inside living cells to control protein activity, all ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

The groundwork for these advances has been laid over recent years by genetic mapping--the arrangement of mutable sites on a chromosome as deduced from genetic recombination experiments. This mapping ...
