For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...
A microscopic organism from a freshwater pond is playing by a different set of genetic rules. The newly identified protist, ...
What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...
Sequencing the human genome was once thought to be the key to understanding genetic diversity and disease, but gene ...
A newly discovered code within DNA -- coined 'spatial grammar' -- holds a key to understanding how gene activity is encoded in the human genome. This breakthrough finding revealed a long-postulated ...
A repetitive stretch of noncoding DNA helps regulate a gene active in human but not chimpanzee forebrain progenitor cells.
A long-overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviors that define autism spectrum disorder (ASD), without affecting ...
