A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Scientists at Rice University have unveiled a breakthrough technique that could fundamentally change how DNA is designed for ...

The new technique is called CLASSIC, an acronym for “combining long and short range sequencing to investigate genetic ...

Using CLASSIC, Rice researchers realized that circuits are variable, having multiple pathways to elicit the same outcome.

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

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

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

Researchers have generated the most comprehensive genome sequence of the pistachio, allowing plant breeders to create better varieties. (Bárbara Blanco-Ulate / UC Davis) California produces 99% of the ...
