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 ...

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

CHANGE-seq-BE was developed to enable scientists to better understand base editors, an important class of CRISPR precise genome editors.

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

Since the advent of the Human Genome Project, scientists have expanded efforts to map complete biological datasets that encompass entire molecular families, such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites ...

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 ...

The collection of high-quality genomic DNA remains a major barrier in pediatric and neurodevelopmental research, particularly ...

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 ...

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

DNA is often called the blueprint of life, but what does that really mean? Elizabeth Worthey, Ph.D., associate professor, Department of Genetics in the Heersink School of Medicine, explains everything ...

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 ...
