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 ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

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 ...

In a recent perspective article published in the journal Nature Communications, over 30 scientists from around the world discussed the action plans and principles of the global scientific initiative ...

The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was one of ...

An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using complete sequences from 65 individuals across diverse ancestries. This milestone ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

The first complete genetic portrait of a so‑called “last Neanderthal” is forcing scientists to redraw the map of our origins, from who we met to how we survived. Instead of a simple story of ...

NC State scientists created a statistical framework that dramatically improves fine-mapping in livestock, where relatedness ...
