Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

Biological science has made such astonishing leaps in the last few decades, such as precise gene editing, that scientists are now tackling the next logical — yet inherently controversial — step: ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature.

The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was one of ...

Massive endeavor including Hopkins researchers and students aims to understand the planet's most biodiverse habitats ...

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

In the most comprehensive study of animal evolution ever attempted, an international consortium of scientists plans to assemble a genomic zoo–a collection of DNA sequences for 10,000 vertebrate ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

We explore the idea of 'longevity genes' and whether being blessed with a FOXO3 variant which will translate to a longer and ...
