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 ...

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose ...

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

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

The Ancient Egyptian Old Kingdom (2686–2125 B.C.) produced many lasting artefacts—but little DNA has survived. Teeth from an elderly man who lived around the time that the earliest pyramids were built ...

UC Santa Cruz has a long history of pioneering advances in genomics research. The first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled on our campus in 2000, which has led to enormous leaps in ...

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

However, it should only get easier with automation and AI assistance. While sequencing the very first human genome took an entire decade and cost $3 billion up until 2003. Today, it can be wrapped up ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
