A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

Scientists from the 4D Nucleome Consortium at UMass Chan Medical School mapped the human genome in 3D over time, uncovering ...

Ancient DNA is turning human evolution into a crime scene reconstruction, and one of the prime suspects is a herpesvirus that ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

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 ...

Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

For the first time, scientists have reconstructed ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) from archaeological human remains more than two millennia old.

Science is searching for the secret to their extreme longevity from many angles. But scientists still hadn’t covered the ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Humanized mouse models are vital for studying human gene function, but fully replacing mouse genes with complete human ...
