Francis Collins, former director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the National Human Genome Project, combined secular thought and religious beliefs at a BYU forum address on Jan. 27.

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

In the radioactive forests around Chernobyl, gray wolves have done what humans cannot: they have adapted to chronic radiation ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three ...

While the 21st century has been bumpy, it has also ushered in monumental scientific and technological breakthroughs that have changed our world for the better. Advances in medicine have allowed for ...

From a lab bench in Chicago to a global consortium effort, scientists have drawn the most detailed four-dimensional maps yet of the human genome, tracking how chromosomes fold, loop and shift around ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

Amy Lindberg spent 26 years in the Navy and she still walked like it—with intention, like her chin had someplace to be. But around 2017, her right foot stopped following orders. Lindberg and her ...
