DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

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

Researchers have reconstructed ancient herpesvirus genomes from Iron Age and medieval Europeans, revealing that HHV-6 has ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

The human immune system like fat and blood sugar levels may have been due to genetic mutations from Denisovans, our little known extinct human relatives ...

Every time you look in the mirror, you are seeing the legacy of an extinct cousin. A small but influential fraction of your ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

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.

Researchers have unveiled a way to flip genes back on without slicing into the genome, a shift that could make CRISPR far ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Ancient DNA reveals that childhood viruses lived with humans for thousands of years, reshaping how we understand human and ...
