A comprehensive analysis of 173,303 genomes from Pakistan, published today in Nature, is upending how scientists understand ...

A tiny portion of the human genome may have had a surprisingly large impact on our ability to develop language. New research ...

Deep-learning models that learn a sense of language on DNA have achieved a high level of performance on genome biological tasks. Genome sequences follow rules similar to natural language but are ...

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 ...

A tiny set of ancient genetic “switches” may have played a surprisingly large role in making human language possible.

Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered "junk DNA" because the available technologies did not allow them to be studied at sufficient resolution. This is the case for the SST1/NBL2 ...

Scientists can choose between multiple human genome references, and a pangenome reference is coming. Deciding what to use when is not quite straightforward. You have full access to this article via ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion. Researchers discovered that it actively reshapes the 3D structure of the human ...

Update: since this article was published, South Africa’s health authorities have withdrawn the section on heritable human genome editing that was included in version 3 of the National Health Research ...

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
