The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

At the turn of the century, the biomedical research community saw a landmark global effort, when scientists built a reference human genome sequence to better understand the genes underlying health and ...

John Sulston, a scientist who won the Nobel Prize for work that provided insights into the genetic processes by which human beings develop, and who also led the British effort to decode the human ...

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by scientists at deCODE Genetics, subsidiary of Amgen, shows that sequence variants drive the correlation between DNA methylation and gene ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Scientists for the first time have decoded the entire genome of a cancer patient, identifying a series of genes never before linked to the type of white blood cell cancer that ...

We already know some things about J. Craig Venter: for example, that the self-styled renegade biologist and genome sequencer has little patience for governmental or academic bureaucracy. There are ...
