For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

Long-buried traces of Denisovan DNA have resurfaced in modern human genomes — and they may still be working for us today.

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 ...

Study reveals 20 DNA markers in fast-twitch muscle that predict age within 4 years and explain why sprinting declines before ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

Study is the first to find a statistically significant link between rising temperatures and altered DNA activity in a wild ...

Popular genetics tests can’t tell you much about your dog’s personality, according to a recent study. A team of geneticists ...
