In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

MaizeCODE is a genomic project analyzing the genetic basis of maize domestication. Researchers identified key regulatory ...

Genomics is bringing in a new wave of money from an unlikely group of investors — health systems. More providers are ...

Breast cancers can be classified into subgroups that hint at the aggressiveness of the cancer and the likelihood that the ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

New research from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) has shed light on how regulatory regions of DNA switch on genes located far away. DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for ...

While the reference genome for both regions suggests these two loci are structurally dissimilar, we found that for both loci about 5% of individuals have a unique tandem repeat-like sequence (three ...

Horizon Forbidden West is a game that doesn't require Steam users to connect a PSN account to play, yet a ResetEra user noticed it's been region-locked in countries that don't have access to PSN ...

This type of shuffling has been challenging to detect due to the high similarity between DNA sequences. The study also identifies specific regions of DNA that remain largely unchanged, likely serving ...

These regions of the genome are known as Neandertal DNA deserts. Yet studies published over the past decade have shown that some Neandertal DNA has in fact persisted in and around some brain ...

It involves many players: DNA regions outside the gene itself such as enhancers (which are often on rather distant parts of the strand), proteins called transcriptions factors that bind to DNA ...
