The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project ...

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 team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

The story behind yesterday's discovery goes back to 1953, when two young scientists at Cambridge University worked out that DNA came in the beautiful three-dimensional structure of a double helix.

Have you ever wondered how a simple genetic code made up of just four letters can provide the set of instructions needed to create every living thing on Earth? Or how genes and chromosomes fit into ...

An international team of researchers led by Konstanz evolutionary biologist Axel Meyer and Würzburg biochemist Manfred Schartl has sequenced the largest genome of all animals, the lungfish genome.

No human genome has ever been read in its entirety before. This year, scientists expect to pass that milestone for the first time. Before the end of 2023, you should be able to read something ...

The human genome was going to change the way medicine is practised. It was going to reveal the hidden hand of cards dealt by our genes so we could cheat our genetic destiny. Francis Collins, now ...
