Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a platform that pinpoints genetic ...

Our DNA is often pictured as a simple spiral, like a piece of rope held taut. But inside cells, it folds into a complex three ...

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new ...

The team’s approach, which combines synthetic biology expertise, artificial intelligence, and statistical mapping techniques, enables rapid, precise reprogramming of bacteria as biotechnology tools, ...

A centromere is a specific region on a chromosome that ensures that, when a cell divides, the chromosome separates accurately so each new cell receives the correct amount of genetic material. Despite ...

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification crucial to normal development, with its dysregulation leading to various diseases including cancer. As interest in epigenomics grows, an innovative ...

A team that includes Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists has unlocked some of the secrets of corn DNA, revealing how specific sections of genetic material control vital traits such as plant ...

A new study co-led by professor Valeriya Malysheva, group leader at the VIB-UAntwerp Center for Molecular Neurology, ...

New single-cell method maps protein-DNA interactions, revealing gene regulation changes and advancing multi-omics studies of health and disease. (Nanowerk News) A new technology allows scientists to ...

This image depicts the detection of structural variants (SVs) at low sequencing coverage in both unique and repetitive regions by genomic proximity mapping (GPM), compared with other SV-calling ...
