More than a decade after the first Neanderthal genome was sequenced, scientists are still working to understand how ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

The first 100 bases of many genes show excess mutations, revealing a major genomic weak spot that shapes disease risk and ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

While the 21st century has been bumpy, it has also ushered in monumental scientific and technological breakthroughs that have ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: We are generating staggering amounts of data every day. Data centers just can’t keep up with the demand. With data storage needs expected to soar in ...

A bold new research initiative from Kingston University London aims to revolutionise genetic science by harnessing artificial intelligence, supported ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing ...
