DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

This image depicts the detection of structural variants (SVs) at low sequencing coverage in both unique and repetitive regions by genomic proximity mapping (GPM), compared with other SV-calling ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

Innovative study of DNA's hidden structures may open up new approaches for treatment and diagnosis of diseases, including cancer. DNA is well-known for its double helix shape. But the human genome ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification crucial to normal development, with its dysregulation leading to various diseases including cancer. As interest in epigenomics grows, an innovative ...

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...

DNA as a tracker: Researchers can now trace trafficked pangolins to their origins with remarkable precision, even from degraded samples. Hotspots identified: Key poaching areas were found in southwest ...

While a strand of human DNA is approximately 6.5 feet long, it is folded into a cell nucleus that is only 10 micrometers in ...

Did you know one of the largest collections of marine DNA in the entire world is hiding just outside D.C.? In today’s episode of “Matt About Town,” we’re taking an even deeper dive into the ...
