Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex diseases.

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Google DeepMind released AlphaGenome on January 28, an AI model that predicts how DNA sequences translate into biological functions, processing up to one million base-pairs at once and outperforming ...

Google DeepMind's VP of Research, Pushmeet Kohli, suggests that AI's next major biological breakthrough could be ...

Find out what are the key reasons we need to broaden the sample size of the original map of human DNA created by the Human Genome Project. Clinical drug trials have historically had a much higher rate ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Researchers reprogrammed bacterial bridge recombinases to edit large genomic regions in mammalian cells, revealing a ...

For more than a century, Neanderthals have been cast as a vanished side branch of the human family tree, a brief encounter in our deep past. The latest high resolution Neanderthal genome, combined ...
