Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of each ...

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 ...

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

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

The puzzle seems impossible: take a three-billion-letter code and predict what happens if you swap a single letter. The code we’re talking about—the human genome—stores most of its instructions in ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...

Imagine you work for a hypothetical gene synthesis company, one of dozens around the world that manufacture tiny strands of custom nucleic acids like DNA for customers in academia and industry. DNA ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...
