Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

New whole-genome sequencing data reveals how strongly DNA shapes everyday traits, closing the long-standing gap in ...

On a foggy Saturday morning in 1953, a tall, skinny 24-year-old man fiddled with shapes he had cut out of cardboard. They ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools ...

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 ...

This circular diagram represents the genetic code, showing how the four nucleotide bases of RNA (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and uracil [U]) form codons that specify amino acids. Each ...

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...

In a new Northwestern Medicine study, scientists have developed a more precise genetic risk score to determine whether a ...
