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

The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

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 ...

Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for ...

An effort to expand on the Human Genome Project by capturing the diversity of people around the world has produced the first draft of a new resource called the “pangenome reference”. The pangenome ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

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