Scientists are one step closer to pinpointing fragments of Leonardo da Vinci’s elusive DNA. A team of researchers from the ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

A pair of papers published this week in the two leading scientific journals mark the completion of the Human Genome Project and the start of a new project to find all of the functional elements in ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Since its development in the late 1970s, DNA sequencing has become one of the most influential tools in biomedical research, with technologies evolving continuously and new applications emerging over ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
