DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

Ever see a basset hound and find yourself wanting to (gently) grab its long, floppy ears and give them a little waggle? The ...

New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.
