Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, without new genes.

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 ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). These little circles of DNA can hitch a ride with ...
