For the first time, scientists have reconstructed ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) from ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

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 ...

Researchers have unlocked the final gaps in the human genome, and what they tell us could mean big waves for the future 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, ...

The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project ...

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 ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

Early human ancestors called the LRJ Group lived in Europe for 80 generations, intermingling with Neanderthals, before ...

It's long been assumed that as cells divide in the human body, the genome is faithfully replicated in the resulting daughter cells. While errors are known to arise, there is machinery in the cell that ...
