The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

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

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there's a whole lot of DNA beyond genes that we are just starting to understand.

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

New 3D genome maps reveal how DNA folding controls gene activity, offering fresh clues into disease and cell function.

A new study challenges what's long been assumed about genetic variants thought to always cause inherited blindness.

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...
