His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, ...

Scientists from the University of Colombia have found an ancient "ghost" DNA genome that existed in South America over 6,000 years ago but vanished.

Basecamp Research has launched a new scientific initiative, called the Trillion Gene Atlas, to bring together genomic data ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

In a single experiment, scientists can decipher the entire genomes of many patient samples, animal models, or cultured cells.

Discover how CRISPR genome editing is revolutionizing medicine. Learn the science of Cas9, current clinical trials, and the future of gene editing.

Viruses can't survive on their own, and need a host cell to generate more viral particles and spread. So viruses can often manipulate the functions of cells they infect. Researchers have now shown ...
