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

Only around two percent of the human genome codes for proteins, and while those proteins carry out many important functions of the cell, the rest of the genome cannot be ignored. However, for decades ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

Quantum mechanics describes the strange rules that govern atoms and their subatomic components. When the rules of classical physics, which describe the big world, break down, quantum comes in to ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Researchers have changed the way to look at DNA. They show that DNA is much more than a linear sequence of building blocks; it has a 3D structure that influences the variation of human genome-wide ...

Researchers identified a rare genetic variant that weakens MSI2 activity in blood stem cells, slowing clonal hematopoiesis ...
