RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered a new genetic code that deploys a cluster of cells that attack healthy organs and overpowers the ...

By combining large-scale experiments with deep learning, researchers built a lightweight model that deciphers how regulatory DNA controls gene activity.

A group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a ...

A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...

The often-mentioned fact that humans and chimpanzees are 99.9 percent identical in their DNA is hard to accept for some people, who can't comprehend how we could share so much of our basic genetic ...
