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

Researchers have reconstructed ancient herpesvirus genomes from Iron Age and medieval Europeans, revealing that HHV-6 has ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Scientists discovered that aging DNA repeats expand at wildly different speeds—and in some people, the consequences can be devastating. A sweeping genetic study drawing on data from more than 900,000 ...

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 ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

Scientists have discovered male human DNA on a chalk drawing that may have been created by the famous artist and scientist.

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...
