Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

The lab has developed ultra-small DNA nanodevices that can function inside living cells, illuminating biological processes.

David Liu and Richard Merkin of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, along with Columbia professor Sam Sternberg, have developed a new, targeted means of inserting entire genes into human DNA ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

This figure depicts how bridge recombinases have a dual targeting capability that enable these systems to insert new genetic material, delete unwanted regions, or flip existing DNA segments all in a ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

As people age, their immune systems deteriorate. This makes them more susceptible to infections and can mean that vaccines ...
