One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

The 4D map, which includes more than 140,000 folds and loops for every type of cell, illustrates how human DNA is organized not only in space but also in time. This information is crucial ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

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 ...

The UA’s Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory is doing genetic testing for a project that attempts to connect the remote ancestry of human beings. The lab does DNA testing from public participation ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease. Your ...

This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

DNA synthesis is going global. The biosecurity rules aren’t keeping up.

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...
