A mule has helped researchers build the most complete reference genomes to date for horses and donkeys, giving scientists ...

For a long time, so-called satellite DNA was considered largely worthless. Now, ETH Zurich researchers have shown in fruit ...

AI decodes the initiator, a genetic switch present in roughly 60% of focused human gene promoters, giving researchers the ...

Researchers have used AI to uncover the DNA signature of a key genetic “switch” involved in turning genes on. After analyzing ...

Inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, or IBMFS, describes a group of disorders in which inherited genetic abnormalities impair the bone marrow's ability to produce sufficient healthy blood cells.

Scientists say our lifespan may have a biological limit, and DNA mutations could be the reason. New research suggests that as we age, mutations build up in our cells until the damage becomes too much ...

You are what you eat, but what happens to those calories after you eat may depend more on your genes than you think. To find the gene, scientists sequenced the coding DNA of more than a million people ...

Analysis of one million diverse genomes yields mutations associated with lower risk of diabetes, heart disease and other ‘cardiometabolic’ conditions. Giant UK programme to lower people’s blood-sugar ...

In this section, we continue the GraphQL example by explaining how to set our GraphQL mutations to be transactional. That means, to automatically wrap our GraphQL mutations with a database transaction ...

Cancer cells rely on powerful genetic switches to keep growth genes running at full speed, but that intense activity can damage their own DNA. The resulting breaks are repeatedly repaired, sometimes ...
