A large genetic study shows that many people carry DNA sequences that slowly expand as they get older. Common genetic ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with ...

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

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

Restricted access to genome-editing technologies poses serious challenges for countries like India that urgently need such ...

Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...

They drew with crayons, possibly fed on maggots and maybe even kissed us: Forty millenniums later, our ancient human cousins ...

Extra chromosomes, found in some fish, contain copied genes that don’t work but can still impact the organism. Research shows ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Most of our DNA doesn’t code for genes but instead acts as switches that control how genes are used. Researchers have now mapped hundreds of these switches in astrocytes and found many that regulate ...
