The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can be inherited by later generations. Researchers have identified previously ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

These genomes are the oldest yet found of modern humans in Europe, though they were not the first hominids to walk these ...
