DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life's code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Nabsys 2.0, LLC ("Nabsys"), a pioneer in Electronic Genome Mapping (EGM), today announced the publication of a new preprint ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

Buried within every human cell lies a molecular archive of ancient infections. Roughly eight percent of the human genome consists of human endogenous retroviruses, or HERVs, the fossilized remains of ...

A centromere is a specific region on a chromosome that ensures that, when a cell divides, the chromosome separates accurately so each new cell receives the correct amount of genetic material. Despite ...

About 2 meters worth of genetic material must fit into the nucleus of each and every one of most of our trillions of cells, coiling and winding to form what looks like a tangled mess. But when genes ...

CHICAGO --- In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed ...
