The entire human genome requires three gigabytes of computer data storage space. (One million base pairs of sequence data ...

Our DNA contains sequences that 'move' as if they were living creatures. These are transposons, commonly known as 'jumping genes.' A research team at Cornell University has discovered that a gene born ...

A new review argues that host chromatin architecture and three-dimensional genome rewiring, not just HPV oncoproteins, ...

From Avery’s genetic material discovery to the Human Genome Project’s 3 billion base pairs, major life-science advances faced ...

Genetic information may play an increasingly important role in the personalized preventive medicine of the future.

The human genome is an easy place to get lost. Only 2% of its three billion letters encode proteins, and the rest is diabolically hard to decipher. An artificial-intelligence-generated ‘atlas’ of the ...

Scientists have discovered a human gene with a remarkable double life: it appears to play an important role in brain cells while still retaining the ability to jump around the genome. Called BC200, ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

Unpacking from vacation a couple months back, I decided to give artificial intelligence a task. I paused folding my laundry, sat down with Claude, and asked it to analyze the entirety of my genome.
