Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation.

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...

Like DNA hard drives, the approach could lock the world's data down for the long haul—if researchers can make it practical. We have a data storage problem. This year, the world’s storage needs will ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of ...
