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

Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

Thanks to increasingly efficient and affordable gene sequencing technologies, we can now chart our genetic blueprint in unprecedented detail. But what does each gene do? Of the roughly 20,000 genes ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

In January 2025, the government of India announced the completion of the GenomeIndia Project, which entailed sequencing the genomes of 10,000 Indians across 83 communities. The project, launched in ...

The effort to produce a map of the human genetic code turned into a race three years ago when Celera Genomics Corp. of Rockville announced it could do the job faster and more cheaply than an ...
