Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...

With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...

The human genome, by comparison, contains about 3 billion DNA base pairs and codes for about 35,000 proteins. Carsonella lives inside a leaf-munching insect, called a psyllid [image].

That time line matches previous suspicions that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet had completely collapsed during the Last Interglacial, a warm period that occurred 130,000 to 115,000 years ago.

Human genome stored inside near-indestructible '5D memory crystal' that could survive to the end of the universe. News. By Harry Baker published 25 September 2024 ...

Genome doubling allows cancer cells to hedge their bets, creating additional copies of genes, so that one copy can be mutated or deleted, while the other copy survives intact.

A new study reports on genomic data from a 23,000-year-old individual who lived in what was probably the warmest place of Europe at the peak of the last Ice Age. The oldest human genome recovered ...

The complete genome of the northern white rhinoceros has been mapped, providing a crucial reference for assessing stem cell health and guiding reproductive technologies aimed at species revival.
