An artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Google DeepMind in London could help scientists to make sense of this ...

Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

The sex characteristics regulated by DNA on the Y chromosome are also not equivalent to an individual’s gender identity. UCSC Assistant Professor of Biomolecular Engineering Karen Miga is a co-leader ...

Males imprint their DNA by adding methyl modifications to it in a way that alters the activity of genes in order to promote ...

By Abhishyant Kidangoor Tyler Kartzinel likens protecting biodiversity to enhancing cellphone networks. His analogy is pretty ...

It was becoming much faster and cheaper to sequence human DNA than it was in the early days of genetics ... That routing out the secret cause of all disease was not something researchers could really ...

It follows a previous report showing that the Werner syndrome protein WRN and its interacting protein WRNIP1 are indispensable for translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) by Y-family DNA polymerases (Pols).

DNA methylation is an example of one of the many mechanisms of epigenetics. Epigenetics refers to changes in how your body “reads” your DNA. They don’t change the actual DNA sequence. That ...

More shared DNA generally indicates a closer relationship; for example, a parent and their child will share around 47.5% to 50% of their DNA, while grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

The most important goal is to build a reference DNA sequence for species similar in genetic makeup—that is, those in a “family.” Reference genomes are incredibly important for genetic studies. True to ...

DNA is made up of four chemical "letters"—the nucleotide bases A, G, T and C. Mutations in this sequence cause thousands of human diseases, yet until recently, gene editing could only fix a ...
