Life sciences-focused technology company MGI Tech announced a commercial partnership with Human Cell Atlas, a global consortium working to map every cell type in the human body, to advance worldwide ...
NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions 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 ...
Scientists worldwide recently announced the completion of the human genome map, an international project working to identify the genetic sequence of humans and to pinpoint the genes causing an array ...
Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...
DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...
