Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Researchers have created the most comprehensive map to date of DNA elements that regulate gene activity, nearly tripling the ...

Decades of research has viewed DNA as a sequence-based instruction manual; yet every cell in the body shares the same genes – so where is the language that writes the memory of cell identities?

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

We know the genes, but not their functions.” To resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research ...
