For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

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

New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

The UA’s Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory is doing genetic testing for a project that attempts to connect the remote ancestry of human beings. The lab does DNA testing from public participation ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to map the 3D organization of the human genome and how it changes over time, ...

This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...
