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 ...

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

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 ...

Not only is the banana slug the endearing mascot for UC Santa Cruz — making the project fitting for campus researchers — but ...

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 ...

Read the paper: Heritable polygenic editing as a potential frontier in genomic medicine The study reveals that polygenic genome editing in human embryos could substantially reduce the likelihood ...

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

The most advanced engineering of human cell lines to date has been accomplished by scientists, demonstrating that genomes are more robust against significant structural changes than previously ...

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

Visualizing cells after editing specific genes can help scientists learn new details about the function of those genes. But ...
