DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...
Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have revealed a previously overlooked layer of genetic variation that could help explain why people experience disease differently, and why some ...
It’s not just a mood—it’s in your blood. New research shows that your DNA determines whether you feel that "telltale tingle" ...
Professor Asaf Hellman and his research team at the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School have unveiled new findings in the realm of methylation-directed regulatory networks. Their study sheds ...
An international research collaboration has shed new light on how DNA sequence variation can influence gene activity in the developing human brain. The team, which was led by researchers at the ...
An international team of scientists has decoded some of the most stubborn, overlooked regions of the human genome using complete sequences from 65 individuals across diverse ancestries. This milestone ...
This image compares three DNA sequencing technologies: Sanger sequencing, Massively Parallel DNA sequencing, and Nanopore DNA sequencing. Sanger sequencing (left) sequences 500-700 bases per reaction ...
Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...
