A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.
In the last decade, archaeologists have learned to read the genetic traces that ancient humans and Neanderthals left not only ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...
Research reveals that five DNA letters can switch chromatin between fluid and solid-like states, influencing gene ...
DNA is often called the blueprint of life, but what does that really mean? Elizabeth Worthey, Ph.D., associate professor, Department of Genetics in the Heersink School of Medicine, explains everything ...
A groundbreaking genetic study has revealed that Italians who reach 100 carry significantly more ancient Western hunter-gatherer DNA than their younger counterparts. The research, published in ...
DNA–protein cross-links (DPCs) represent a severe form of DNA damage that can disrupt essential chromatin-based processes.
