A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia.

Most people alive today carry fragments of Neanderthal DNA in their genome. Now scientists are gaining a more intimate ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

But the study, published Thursday in the journal Science, shows “that whenever Neanderthals and modern humans have mated, there has been a preference for male Neanderthals and female modern humans, as ...

LINE-1 retrotransposons are mobile genome parasites that drive cancer evolution by reshuffling the host genome.

For many years, researchers believed that the DNA inside a newly fertilized egg began as a structural ‘blank slate’ – a loose ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Participating institutions connect HiFi whole genome sequencing data and associated metadata within a highly secure federated environment. Hosted by DNAstack and accessible at the platform enables ...
