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

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Investigators in the Nancy Guthrie case have turned to genetic genealogy as they try to make the most of potential DNA ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

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

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilised egg as a structural 'blank slate' – a disordered tangle of ...
