There’s 99.9% similarity across human genomes, with the remaining 0.1% variation being what makes each person unique.1 In ...

A genome-wide study of over 200,000 Estonians has revealed genetic variants linked to appetite and body weight. The findings ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

In a surprising discovery, MIT scientists found tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells. Enabled by a high-resolution ...

Cancer cells are known to reawaken embryonic genes to grow. A new study reveals the disease also hijacks the proteins, or ...

Child maltreatment, which includes abuse and neglect, is one of the most serious public health concerns worldwide. These ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...

Torino is a computational workflow that uses biobank-scale RNA-seq data to decode transcript structures and expression levels from read coverage alone.

Scientists identified 473 human genes that act as genetic “on/off switches,” shaping disease risk through tissue-specific or universal patterns regulated by DNA changes and hormones. Study: ...
