Curled up inside every single one of the trillions of cells in the human body is six feet of DNA, spooled tightly and carrying the genetic instructions that govern so much of who a person becomes.

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Officials with the UK Home Office responsible for decisions on refugee family reunification are struggling to understand key ...

The director of the corporation’s scientific laboratory points to genomics, nuclear fusion and the development of new materials as future areas of exploration for his team ...

There is significant crosstalk between DNA damage response (DDR) pathways and innate immune pathways. Both the individual pathways and their interactions are key areas of interest for the ...

Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make loops into DNA could move in one direction only. The discovery, which is published in Cell, is key to understanding how ...

“It’s almost like you’re changing tires while you’re driving.” Unraveling DNA polymerase’s activity can help scientists better understand DNA replication and repair and explore how these processes ...

From understanding hereditary diseases to predicting drug responses, sequencing helps researchers uncover the subtle language ...

In the meantime, the researchers are working to understand how DNA-repeat tracts longer than 150 CAGs lead to neuronal impairment and death, and why repeats expand more in some kinds of neurons ...

A robust platform for analyzing 3D genome architecture and epigenomic features enables a deeper understanding of gene regulation in specific cell types. Researchers analyze various aspects of gene ...
