Scientists have reached a new milestone in decoding the human genome, unlocking complex regions once believed to be too difficult to study. Researchers used long-read sequencing to analyze the DNA of ...

Across two new papers published Wednesday (July 23) in the journal Nature, scientists sequenced the DNA of 1,084 people ...

Researchers led by UC Davis Health scientist Sanchita Bhatnagar have developed a promising gene therapy that could treat Rett syndrome. The therapy works on reactivating healthy but silent genes ...

An international team of scientists a family genome sequences known as “transposable elements,” and found they play a vital ...

Obesity increases the risk of nearly 200 diseases. A new genetic test may be able to predict a young child's risk of obesity in adulthood.

Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome in its entirety. That is, ...

The newly developed system uses CRISPR-Cas9 “scissors” and a guide RNA to make a genetic cut at a precise location within the ...

An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Researchers have identified two genes from the human genome’s “dark matter” that influence brain size and synaptic signaling.
