Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells.

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Researchers at the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have uncovered how eukaryotic cells can ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

New study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most powerful genetic "on switches" in cancer cells, called super-enhancers, drive ...

The way DNA folds inside the nucleus of brain cells may hold the key to understanding a devastating form of brain cancer called glioblastoma, suggests a new preclinical study from Weill Cornell ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Researchers at the Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and Yale University, have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design thousands of new DNA switches that can ...

Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaGenome, an AI tool that analyses large sections of DNA to predict how genetic mutations ...

By Tarun Sai Lomte Blood-based DNA repair and stress-response signals reveal a brief molecular window preceding Parkinson’s ...

An infection with Epstein-Barr virus is a nonevent for most people. But for a subset, the virus can contribute to chronic ...
