Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Since the first sequencing of a human genome more than 20 years ago, the study of human genomes has relied almost exclusively on a single reference genome to which others are compared to identify ...

A new clinical trial suggests magnesium supplements may boost gut bacteria that help block the development of colon cancer – ...

Researchers believe that's partly down to the spider's 'dark DNA' - a mysterious part of the animal's genetic code, and they ...

New research has uncovered how specific genetic variations determine whether individuals are more likely to develop autism-like traits or psychosis, offering new insights into the genetic roots of ...

Cells working with an expanded genetic code could make more diverse medicines. A new study shows scientists are within striking distance. One of modern biologists' most ambitious goals is to learn how ...

A genetics study traced prehistoric human migration from Asia to North and South America. The findings are helping underrepresented Indigenous groups understand their ancestral origins.The first ...
