Salk researchers uncovered a genetic mechanism that directs DNA methylation in Arabidopsis. Instead of relying solely on ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

Whole-genome sequencing reads every DNA base. This shifts medicine from diagnosing disease based on symptoms to molecular ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Centuries-old genetic material can solve historical mysteries, from lost species to what killed Napoleon’s army.

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

A team from the Andalusian Center for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) has developed an innovative ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

When it comes to critical care for newborns, being able to act fast is of the utmost importance, which is why this new DNA tech is so important.
