DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave.

New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

Scientists from Oxford's Radcliffe Department of Medicine have achieved the most detailed view yet of how DNA folds and functions inside living cells, revealing the physical structures that control ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

The UA’s Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory is doing genetic testing for a project that attempts to connect the remote ancestry of human beings. The lab does DNA testing from public participation ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...
