In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

Scientists at UC Santa Cruz have completed the first end-to-end genome of the iconic Pacific banana slug, a species ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a promising new approach that could be used to treat a rare and ...

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 ...

Structural variants in the human genome include cytogenetically detectable and submicroscopic deletions, duplications, large-scale copy-number variants, inversions and translocations. The ability ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

The most advanced engineering of human cell lines to date has been accomplished by scientists, demonstrating that genomes are more robust against significant structural changes than previously ...

To do this, researchers used prime editing to insert a recognition sequence into the genomes of the human cell lines to target with recombinase—an enzyme that enabled the team to 'shuffle' the genome.

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.
