Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect, affecting approximately 1 in 100 babies born each year. One of the ...

Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A ...

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect, affecting approximately 1 in 100 babies born each year. One of the many causes for this disorder is having only one functional copy of the ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

Scientists at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center have uncovered new insights into how cells regulate DNA methylation, a ...

Enhancers are pieces of DNA that act like switches, regulating when genes are turned on and off and how strongly they are ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

A new study finds that mitochondria in our brain cells frequently fling their DNA into the cells' nucleus, where the mitochondrial DNA integrates into chromosomes, possibly causing harm. As direct ...

Cancer Cell Diagnostics today announced the commercial launch of its CellSight™ DNA comprehensive genomic profiling test. This test is built on a fundamentally distinct source material from ...
