For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...

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

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer. DNA is well-known for its double helix shape. But the human genome ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

This image depicts the detection of structural variants (SVs) at low sequencing coverage in both unique and repetitive regions by genomic proximity mapping (GPM), compared with other SV-calling ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...
