Biology textbooks explain that cells follow a universal rule when processing gene transcripts to make proteins. Non-coding snippets of RNA are bracketed by a guanine-thymine (GT) nucleotide sequence ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

Loss of the Y chromosome in aging men is widespread and increasingly linked to serious diseases, challenging assumptions that ...

Researchers screened more than 220,000 single-letter DNA changes, identifying thousands that regulate gene activity in brain, liver, and blood cells. The work sharpens disease risk prediction and ...

Olga Ramich from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and her team have now, for the first time in humans, shown that the temporal ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions ...

Research in Aging Cell indicates that blood levels of particular small non-coding RNAs, which regulate gene expression, may influence how long a ...

New techniques to detect Y chromosome genes show frequent loss of the Y in tissues of older men. The increase with age is ...
