Scientists at Johns Hopkins report they have deciphered the structure and unusual shape of a bacterial protein that prepares segments of DNA for the insertion of so-called jumping genes. The clamshell ...

Scientists at the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have built a generative AI model that creates short DNA segments ...

According to the reports, the Google DeepMind’s AlphaGenome can predict how even the tiniest changes in DNA, a single swapped letter in the genetic code, might alter the way genes behave, and in turn, ...

Two recent studies suggest that the gene flow (as the young people call it these days) between Neanderthals and our species happened during a short period sometime between 50,000 and 43,500 years ago.

Genetic research does not always produce tidy answers. Sometimes it reveals traces that raise more questions than they settle ...

DNA. It's what makes you unique. Unless you have an identical twin, your DNA is different from that of every other person in the world. And that's what makes DNA fingerprinting possible. Experts can ...

DNA segments that are naturally excised during immune-cell development can replicate, drive damage at various genomic sites and lead to cancer recurrence. Karla K. Rodgers is in the Department of ...
