A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

Wildlife populations that become small and isolated, often due to habitat loss, inevitably experience inbreeding which can lead to the loss of fitness and eventual extinction. One solution is to ...

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Trained on genomic data spanning the tree of life, Evo 2 reveals how artificial intelligence can ...

A team of international scientists, including researchers at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, reports a major ...

The genome is more than a linear code; it is a dynamic structure whose three-dimensional folding dictates how genes are regulated. Traditional sequencing technologies capture base-level variation but ...

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 ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...
