It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is generated in the human genome, and its relationship to health and disease. The new map, appearing today in the online ...

The Greenland shark likes to stick around, with some estimates suggesting a lifespan of more than 500 years – and a new study ...

The first draft genome sequence of the Visayan spotted deer, a critically endangered and one of the rarest deer species in the world, has been shared by local researchers. Endemic to the country, the ...

One of the most significant achievements in genome sequencing was the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003. This international scientific research project aimed to map the entire human ...

Mammalian genomes are organized by multi-level folding, yet how this organization contributes to cell type-specific transcription remain unclear. We uncovered that the nuclear protein SATB1 ...

With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone books.

Working with colleagues on four continents, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor Zachary Lippman has established the pan-genome for an agriculturally crucial group of plants that includes all ...

Discover how the revolutionary field of epigenetics and the development of an epigenetic map of the human genome are paving ...

2 This technique, adapted for ancient samples and combined with DNA sequencing, enabled the researchers to map the chromosome features, assemble a reference genome, and determine activation patterns ...
