Advances in DNA sequencing have revealed something surprising—not everyone with the same genetic change develops the same ...

Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

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 ...

A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the ...

A new gene editing technique derived from bacterial “jumping genes” can add, remove, recombine and invert DNA sequences, potentially overcoming some of the limitations of CRISPR. The approach is made ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

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 ...

The newly identified genes, including some not previously linked to cancer, offer promising new avenues for research into human gastric cancer, Evans said. The study focused on two dogs breeds ...
