A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. The research is published in the journal Nature. The ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

The researchers deeply sequenced five head and neck squamous carcinomas, four lung squamous carcinomas, and one colorectal adenoma.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.
