Beneath the surface of present-day western Honduras lie the ruins of Copán—an archaeological site that once stood as a vital ...

Louisiana researchers are taking part in a National Institutes of Health study, Nutrition for Precision Health, to look at ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology have addressed a longstanding challenge in CRISPR ...

Researchers at Kyushu University have revealed how spatial distance between specific regions of DNA is linked to bursts of gene activity. Using advanced cell imaging techniques and computer ...

the group trained a model using hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences from the human genome that they measured in the laboratory for CRE activity in three types of cells: blood, liver and brain.

Unusual changes to your DNA activity can lead to cancer. Researchers are using this knowledge to create treatments that can undo these alterations. While cells have specific jobs for various parts ...

But DNA sequence is only part of the picture. Long-term, heritable changes in gene activity—how and when each gene is turned on or off—fundamentally shape our biology, trigger many of our diseases, ...

Introns are perhaps one of our genome's biggest mysteries. They are DNA sequences that interrupt the sensible protein-coding information in your genes, and need to be 'spliced out.' Although you ...

Each cell in the body stores its genetic information in DNA in a stable and protected form that is readily accessible for the cell to carry on its activities. Nevertheless, mutations—changes in ...
