It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

Remnants of ancient viral pandemics in the form of viral DNA sequences embedded in our genomes are still active in healthy people, according to new research my colleagues and I recently published.

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 ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Early human ancestors called the LRJ Group lived in Europe for 80 generations, intermingling with Neanderthals, before ...

A mystery that started with the discovery of a pinkie finger bone in Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia may finally have been cracked.

A new RapidHIT ID machine, which bears a passing resemblance to an air fryer, can generate a human DNA profile in about 90 ...
