For the first time, scientists have mapped the genetic architecture of the brain’s communication bridge—the corpus callosum—using AI and MRI data from over 50,000 people.

In the largest genetic analysis of polycystic ovary syndrome to date, scientists have identified new variants linked to the ...

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

Dr. Katz's research shows how important it is for all breast cancer survivors to have access to genetic testing services, ...

A better understanding of protein glycosylation offers insights into disease mechanisms and helps improve therapeutic medicines.

Mythological monsters have terrified, fascinated, and inspired us for centuries. But beneath the teeth and claws lies something much deeper… our own reflection. In a fascinating video from Dr. Emily ...

An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...

For decades, scientists believed the essence of life was written solely in four chemical bases: A, C, T, and G. Together, ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can ...

Reflecting on the technological leap that made this discovery possible, MacQuarrie noted: “We’ve spent 70 years learning to read the genetic code. Understanding this new geometric code became possible ...
