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

Researchers screened more than 220,000 single-letter DNA changes, identifying thousands that regulate gene activity in brain, ...

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

For decades, scientists believed a fertilized egg’s DNA began as a shapeless mass, only organizing itself once the embryo switched on its genes. But new research reveals that the genome is already ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and ...

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

Mathematicians achieve a milestone in verifying the sphere-packing problem solution using Lean, enhancing proof reliability and formalisation efforts.

Researchers at UCLA Health and UC San Francisco have identified a specific molecular mechanism that explains why certain ...

Can NASA and Elon Musk get us to Mars and beyond?

A rare dual heart and liver transplant gave an 11-year-old girl a new chance at life.

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...
