Hydrangeas demonstrate the importance of phenomics and the powerful influence that the environment has on organisms. The flowers are blue when grown in soil that is acidic but pink when they are grown ...

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Nanopore technology, widely renowned for its groundbreaking applications in DNA sequencing, is now being explored by researchers as a tool in a range of applications beyond genomics. In particular, ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists are uncovering the secrets of a fast-acting molecular messaging network that strongly influences how people and all organisms adjust and react to the world around them.

New research predicts the location of DNA sequences that can form structures besides the canonical double helix — non-B DNA — in the recently released telomere-to-telomere genomes of the great apes, ...

CDCA7, whose mutations alter DNA methylation pattern and cause immunodeficiency, is a novel sensor for a special class of methylated DNA. DNA methylation is a process in which a methyl group is ...

What makes two individuals different? Biologists now know that the genome sequence holds only a small part of the answer, and that key elements of development and disease are controlled by the ...
