The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

These genomes are the oldest yet found of modern humans in Europe, though they were not the first hominids to walk these ...

The first phase of the U.K. synthetic human genome project has successfully completed, realizing key steps in chromosome ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

Large-scale human genetics studies have shown that many risk variants for common and complex diseases sit in the non-coding ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

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 ...

While modern octopuses have DNA that consistently gets reshuffled, resulting in some chromosomal mixing, the researchers ...
