A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...
How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...
From a lab bench in Chicago to a global consortium effort, scientists have drawn the most detailed four-dimensional maps yet of the human genome, tracking how chromosomes fold, loop and shift around ...
While the 21st century has been bumpy, it has also ushered in monumental scientific and technological breakthroughs that have changed our world for the better. Advances in medicine have allowed for ...
An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...
From the mighty blue whale to the humble baker’s yeast, eukaryotes encompass an incredibly varied group of 1.67 million named species. This includes all animals, plants, fungi, and a wide range of ...
Scientists have mapped the human genome for a quarter century, yet millions of DNA letters are still unresolved. A new study now reports the most complete reference to date, covering those difficult ...
Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...
An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using complete sequences from 65 individuals across diverse ancestries. This milestone ...
