One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Non-coding DNA is essential for both humans and trypanosomes, despite the large evolutionary divergence between these two species.

In a pair of papers, scientists greatly expanded our catalog of known genomic variation among humans. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Transposons, or 'jumping genes' -- DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another -- are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Researchers have ...
