The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...

The Human Genome Project was among the most ambitious scientific efforts in modern history, with the aim of deciphering the chemical makeup of the entire human genetic code. The sequence of some 3 ...

In experiments dubbed the Random Genome Project, researchers have integrated DNA strands with random sequences into yeast and mouse cells to find the default transcriptional state of their genomes. To ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

An expansive new study offers clear evidence that sequencing the genomes of diverse populations can yield fresh insights into how our DNA shapes our health. A team of researchers involved in an ...
