Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than ...

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

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 researchers analyzed changes to gene expression in ecDNA formed by HPV and human DNA hybridization in oropharyngeal tumor cells. The study discovered that previously unidentified HPV and human DNA ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain features and provides a road map to discover many more. The research could lead ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

Researchers showed that in C. elegans, the protein MBD-2 regulates genes through repressive histone marks rather than DNA ...

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...
