The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

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

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

Sequencing diverse populations revealed over 41,000 transcripts missing in Eurocentric references, exposing ancestry bias ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

The Ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686–2125 B.C.) produced many lasting artefacts—but little DNA has survived. Teeth from an elderly man who lived around the time that the earliest pyramids were built ...

However, it should only get easier with automation and AI assistance. While sequencing the very first human genome took an entire decade and cost $3 billion up until 2003. Today, it can be wrapped up ...
