Epigenetics is the science of how your lifestyle, environment, and even emotions can alter your gene activity without ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...

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

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
