The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to map the 3D organization of the human genome and how it changes over time, ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there's a whole lot of DNA beyond genes that we are just starting to understand.

Scientists depicted the four-dimensional genome model to reveal how DNA folding regulates genes. The discovery helps ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

It is still not fully understood how, despite having the same set of genes, cells turn into neurons, bones, skin, heart, or roughly 200 other kinds of cells, and then exhibit stable cellular behavior ...
