It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

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 ...

The human genome contains approximately 1,600 types of transcription factors responsible for regulating gene activity across more than 400 tissue and cell types. Chromatin immunoprecipitation ...
