The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

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

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

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.

A new publication from the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, provides a brief summary of presentations and discussions at the Second International Summit on Human Genome ...

Long before modern medicine named and cataloged human herpesviruses, at least one of them was already quietly embedding ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...

Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for ...

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

There is a new record for the largest genome to be sequenced, set at a massive 90 billion letters of DNA. It belongs to the South American lungfish. “It was a technical challenge, of course, to do ...
