Whether you turn red when drinking alcohol, dislike certain smells, or metabolize drugs differently from others, the ...

A Stanford Medicine study of thousands of breast cancers has found that the gene sequences we inherit at conception are powerful predictors of the breast cancer type we might develop decades later and ...

Elucidating the relationship between the sequences of non-coding regulatory elements and their target genes is key to understanding gene regulation and its variation between plant species and ecotypes ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified issues with most genomic sequence data for the Neisseria gonorrhoeae ...

DNA synthesis is going global. The biosecurity rules aren’t keeping up.

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Because identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg, they have the same genome, the entire set of genetic material found in an organism. So, any differences between them, even in traits with ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...
