UC Santa Cruz genomics experts gained new insights into the campus's endearingly eccentric mascot — and overcame the unique ...

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 ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more ...

Structural variants in the human genome include cytogenetically detectable and submicroscopic deletions, duplications, large-scale copy-number variants, inversions and translocations. The ability ...

New research pinpoints 298 parts of the genome associated with higher risk of bipolar disorder. This could lead to better ...

It’s a marvel how the human genome — two meters of DNA — fits into the tiny nucleus of a cell while orchestrating the complex processes that sustain life. A new study from Northwestern Engineering’s ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon—using a cellular platform that they developed ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still ...

You, my friend, are what scientists call a "holobiont"- an organism made up of human cells and the multiplicity of ...

Postdoctoral scholar Daniela Soto has earned a prestigious fellowship from HHMI with eight years of funding to study the ...

Bjarni V. Halldorsson and Kari Stefansson, scientists at deCODE genetics, discuss the paper: Complete recombination map of ...
