A new study has found that ORC plays a broad, unexpected role in regulating human cell gene expression and chromatin ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

A research team has successfully identified a novel DNA damage repair pathway in human cells. This study is the first to ...

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres - regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure - protect the tips of chromosomes from damage.

A new study has created the first single-cell map of how DNA is regulated and organized inside different cell-types of human fat tissue. The research shows that many genetic risk factors for abdominal ...

A study has produced the first single-cell map of DNA regulation in human fat tissue. By profiling more than 36,000 cells, ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as “junk,” thought to serve no real purpose. In a new study in Cell ...

Could a natural check on cancer be used to stop the disease? It's possible, but to leverage a system that nature designed, we ...

New research links an ancient DNA sequence to neuron growth, brain-cell balance, and a cognitive flexibility trait that may ...

Scientists are seeking to decipher the role of non-coding DNA in the human genome, helped by a suite of ...
