The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial project ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Scientists have stored the entire human genome on a five-dimensional crystal that’s capable of digitally storing up to 360 terabytes of information and is built to survive for billions of years. The ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Genetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative ...

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

For the first time, scientists have reconstructed ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) from ...
