Have you ever wondered, what makes a cell become a cancer cell instead of normal tissue? Was it because of exposure to UV light or…
A study led by researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Kent uncovers how the genome three-dimensional structure of male…
Research study investigates habitat conditions encountered by first farmers and monument-builders. Hunter-gatherers made use of open woodland conditions in the millennia before Stonehenge monuments were…
The molecules of life, DNA, replicate with astounding precision, yet this process is not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer…
Scientists Announce Comprehensive Regional Diagnostic of Microbial Ocean Life Using DNA Testing Large-scale ‘metabarcoding’ methods could revolutionize how society understands forces that drive seafood supply…
What Is Genomics? Genomics is an interdisciplinary field of science that focuses on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes. A genome is…
University of California Riverside-led study identifies how blood stem cells maintain their fate. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that specify and maintain the identities of the…
Using new analyses, scientists have just found the last two of the five informational units of DNA and RNA that had yet to be discovered…
MIT research finds genome loops don’t last long in cells; theories of how loops control gene expression may need to be revised. In human chromosomes,…
Researchers found that changes accumulated in the brain cells of patients with Alzheimer’s disease at a faster rate, potentially explaining why brain cells die and…
Quantity of mutations acquired is similar over the lifetime of 16 species, despite vast differences in lifespan and body mass. The first study to evaluate…
Scientists have published the first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome, two decades after the Human Genome Project produced the first draft human genome…
Xinjiang, in northwest China, lays at an important junction between east and west Eurasia and has played a historically important role in the exchange of…
The MIT biologist Yukiko Yamashita’s research has shed light on the immortality of germline cells and the function of “junk DNA.” When cells divide, they…
Alongside the newly updated human genome, which fills in long-standing gaps to fully spell out the more than 3 billion letters that compose our genetic…
