Researchers introduced the ACTG hierarchical naming system and launched the JoGo 1.0 database to standardize how human gene ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

A study reveals how the essential red blood cell transcription factor KLF1 recognizes DNA. Using precise measurements in test ...

Because identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg, they have the same genome, the entire set of genetic material found in an organism. So, any differences between them, even in traits with ...

For decades, scientists have known that, despite its name, "junk DNA" in fact plays a critical role: While the coding genes provide blueprints for building proteins, which direct most of the body's ...

Biologists have used machine learning, a type of AI, to identify 'synthetic extreme' DNA sequences with specifically designed functions in gene activation. They tested 50 million DNA sequences and ...

A recent study highlights how DNA microarray technology enables high-throughput gene analysis, supporting variation detection, expression ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

The first study to examine the extent of European ancestry biases in gene maps reveals tens of thousands of genetic ...
