In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

Einkorn (Triticum monococcum) was the first wheat species domesticated by humans, around 10,000 years ago, playing an important role in the establishment of agriculture in the Middle East. Now, ...

Biological processes associated with genes linked to promoter–enhancer pairs in normal and cancerous tissues: brain (D), breast (E), and pancreas (F). Each row represents a group of genes sharing a ...

It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique. The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level. In a ...

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has awarded a grant totaling $6,727,904 over four years to Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Professor Yijun Ruan to launch a center for the ...

A detailed, high-resolution map of the rusty patched bumble bee's genome has been released, offering new approaches for bringing the native pollinator back from the danger of extinction. Putting ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has received a $2 million grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation for ongoing research to develop a comprehensive map of human genetic variation. The Human Genome ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...
