Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

It could transform our understanding of why diseases develop and the medicines needed to treat them, says researchers.

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

Animals that hibernate are incredibly resilient. They can spend months without food or water, muscles refusing to atrophy, body temperature dropping to near freezing as their metabolism and brain ...

A study based on data from the Estonian Biobank shows that previously unstudied genetic variants may slow the breakdown of medications, leading to their buildup in the body. The risk of side effects ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

While scientists are amassing a fair amount of data regarding our gut microbiomes, the oral microbiome is a bit of a new frontier. Case in point: researchers have just discovered huge pieces of DNA ...

You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep ...
