Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals ...
A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...
NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...
Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...
It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...
Viruses insert “transposable elements” into the genetic material of host cells to replicate. While cells’ defense mechanisms have learned to silence most of these viral insertions, a few “jumping ...
