Who we are and who we become may be in our genes, at least partially. A new study links a variety of gene variants to various ...

Understanding gene regulation may be key to interpreting human disease genetics. Genes are regulated in part by stretches of ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Digital DNA molecule, structure. Concept binary code human genome. DNA molecule with modified genes, 3D illustration When synthetic biologists sketch gene circuits, they usually think in terms of ...

Half of our genome is made of transposons — snips of DNA that can move and copy themselves. But they’re more than parasites ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated over and over, become longer and more unstable as we age. The study found ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Seven years ago, I took a bet from one of the most controversial figures in the scientific world. Charles Murray, the political scientist who—along with the late psychologist Richard Herrnstein—wrote ...
