Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation.

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in ...

The first study to examine the extent of European ancestry biases in gene maps reveals tens of thousands of genetic ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Researchers have mapped the 3D organization of genetic material of key developmental stages of human retinal formation, using intricate models of a retina grown in the lab. The findings lay a ...

Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...
