Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

DNA might be too small to see with the unaided eye, but it packs our cells in shocking quantities: More than six and a half feet of DNA lies within every cellular nucleus. It squeezes into such a ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose intimate folds govern the destiny of cells. A mapping of unprecedented precision ...

In a first-of-its-kind pursuit, scientists have mapped the human genome in four dimensions (4D), according to a study published in the journal Nature. The project is named "4D Nucleome Project." It ...

Blue chromosome DNA and gradually glowing flicker light matter chemical when camera moving closeup. Medical and Heredity genetic health concept. Technology science. 3D illustration rendering “Today, ...

For decades, gene-editing science has been limited to making small, precise edits to human DNA, akin to correcting typos in the genetic code. Arc Institute researchers are changing that paradigm with ...

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 ...

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...
