Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Since the first sequencing of a human genome more than 20 years ago, the study of human genomes has relied almost exclusively on a single reference genome to which others are compared to identify ...

A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects ...

Around 25 million Americans have a rare genetic disease, and many of them struggle with not only a lack of effective ...

An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource ...

Scientists have long believed that a universal genetic code serves as a blueprint for all life on Earth, dictating the structure and function of organisms from the simplest bacteria to complex humans.

Researchers have constructed a rough draft of a human pangenome, a collection of DNA that represents the genetic information from 47 individuals. The development — a landmark in genomics — magnifies ...
