Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

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.

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

Learn how to effectively read and understand deep learning code with this beginner-friendly guide. Break down complex scripts ...

An artificial intelligence model predicts how brain immune cells react to RNA and DNA nanoparticles, helping scientists design safer and more effective nucleic acid therapies faster.

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual ... “We’ve spent 70 years learning to read the genetic code. Understanding this new geometric code became possible only ...

Some scientists instead believe Dsup acts like a shield. In this model, Dsup coats and physically blocks radiation from striking DNA. Others think it boosts the cell’s repair machinery, fixing damage ...

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

By tweaking the epigenetic state of a single gene, Arc, inside memory-storing neurons, researchers have altered memory ...

Scientists have identified a common gene variant that may help explain why heart failure occurs more often in Black ...
