Scientists have reached a new milestone in decoding the human genome, unlocking complex regions once believed to be too difficult to study. Researchers used long-read sequencing to analyze the DNA of ...

Researchers have revealed new details about the CRISPR-Cas5-HNH/Cascade complex, a variant of the type I-E CRISPR-Cas system, providing insights into its DNA recognition and cleavage mechanisms. The ...

The scientists at deCODE Genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, sought to deepen the understanding of cis-acting influences of sequence variants on CpG methylation. In the study, the scientists were able to ...

Structural variations (SVs)—large-scale changes in DNA sequence—play a crucial role in shaping traits such as yield, quality, and environmental adaptation in crops.

You have your mother's eyes and your father's smile, but genetics is much more than just what's on the surface. In a study that spans more than a decade, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have ...
