Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

The researchers used a genetic tool called CRISPRi that can mute DNA sections without permanently cutting them. The tool was ...

Researchers have uncovered nearly 150 hidden DNA “switches” inside brain support cells that control the activity of genes ...

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has become impossible to ignore.

Researchers created the most detailed maps yet of the genome’s three-dimensional organization using human stem cells and ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

Scientists say bears in southern Greenland differ genetically to those in the north, suggesting they could adjust ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...
