New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most genetic medicine uses viruses or double-stranded DNA to deliver genetic ...

The beauty of the DNA code is that organisms interpret it unambiguously. Each three-letter nucleotide sequence, or codon, in a gene codes for a unique amino acid that's added to a chain of amino acids ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Your next favorite true crime podcast might have some new forensics jargon to make sense of. Researchers in Australia have developed a new way to identify humans – similar to how we do with DNA and ...

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 ...

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

Imagine if you could fix a spelling mistake in a long document with just one click. Now, imagine doing the same with the genetic code of a plant or even a human cell. That’s ...
