Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

For decades, biology textbooks taught that DNA’s story could be told with a single image: two elegant strands twisting in a ...

Artificial intelligence has just redrawn the map of our genome’s control room, revealing hundreds of thousands of tiny DNA ...

A study in Biological Psychiatry has identified an epigenetic signature in newborns for genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia, revealing that an increased genetic risk of schizophrenia and other ...

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Objective: Epigenetic DNA imprints are increasingly being recognized as co-drivers of disease in complex conditions. In this exploratory and hypothesis-generating epigenome-wide association study ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...

A new DNA model suggests humans didn't reach Australia until 50,000 years ago, but archaeological data disagrees. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here ...

First came AlphaFold. Now comes AlphaGenome for DNA. When scientists first sequenced the human genome in 2003, they revealed the full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still didn’t ...

Katie Palmer covers telehealth, clinical artificial intelligence, and the health data economy — with an emphasis on the impacts of digital health care for patients, providers, and businesses. You can ...

Close to Oceania has traditionally been one of the great hinges of humanity. Colonized more than 50,000 years ago, it became both refuge and departure point—initially for descendants of Africa's first ...
