Crispr’s ability to cut genetic code like scissors has just started to turn into medicines. Now, gene editing pioneer ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

An exome-wide association study of nearly 38,000 smokers from the Mexico City Prospective Study identified rare coding ...

When a nuclear disaster empties a landscape of people, nature doesn’t politely wait for instructions. It moves in. After the ...

Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

DNA recovered at the scene of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance may not be usable, law enforcement officials said.

New findings show that the genome’s 3D structure is constantly changing, with NIPBL guiding loop formation that regulates active genes. Faulty folding dynamics may underlie cancers and developmental ...

Scientists have long sought to understand why some plants are fragrant powerhouses while others remain subtle. Now, a ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.
