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 ...

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 ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

The universal features that define genomic regions acting as replication origins remain unclear. In this study, we mapped a set of origins in Trypanosoma brucei using stranded short nascent strand ...

With a three-year, $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Chi Zhang, Edgar Cahoon and Bin Yu will focus on the genome-wide identification of small ...

New Year's Eve revellers will be wowed by an incredible fireworks, music and lights spectacular showcasing Sydney's unique character and culture to a ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Wellesley author Trond Arne Undheim, who as a researcher is always looking to the future, has released his eighth book, "The ...
