When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation.

Mount Sinai and Israel’s largest medical center are using artificial intelligence to map the hidden corners of the human ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

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 ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...

Whole-genome sequencing reads every DNA base. This shifts medicine from diagnosing disease based on symptoms to molecular ...

Scientists have uncovered thousands of DNA segments that were missing from the reference sequence of the human genome. The Human Genome Project, which concluded in 2003, sought to completely and ...
