There’s 99.9% similarity across human genomes, with the remaining 0.1% variation being what makes each person unique.1 In ...

What happens when you squeeze DNA? Can pressure reveal something about how our genetic material is packed, protected, and ...

For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

You’ve probably referred to them negatively – blaming them for your weight, bad habits or thinning hair. But while you can’t ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...
