AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

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 ...

A novel risk locus at 1q21.2 was identified, with the lead variant near MCL1, a regulator of apoptosis, showing a protective effect. The study revealed a genetic correlation of 0.39 between IPF and ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
