Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

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 ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...

A research team at The University of Osaka revealed that the loss of heterochromatin can cause a chain reaction leading to ...

Thanks to increasingly efficient and affordable gene sequencing technologies, we can now chart our genetic blueprint in unprecedented detail. But what does each gene do? Of the roughly 20,000 genes ...

By studying genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, scientists have with unprecedented detail revealed why fewer than ...

About 15% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, and many other conceptions do not survive past the very early stages of ...

Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.
