Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

Scientists from the 4D Nucleome Consortium at UMass Chan Medical School mapped the human genome in 3D over time, uncovering ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE ...

For the first time, scientists have reconstructed ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) from ...

Humanized mouse models are vital for studying human gene function, but fully replacing mouse genes with complete human ...
