DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity.

Researchers developed e2MPRA, a high-throughput technique that simultaneously measures cis-regulatory element activity and epigenetic state. By analyzing thousands of sequences, the method showed that ...

NEW YORK — An Abyssinian cat from Missouri, named Cinnamon, has made scientific history. Researchers have largely decoded her DNA, a step that may aid the search for treatments for both feline and ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

Researchers screened more than 220,000 single-letter DNA changes, identifying thousands that regulate gene activity in brain, ...

NEW YORK - A biotechnology company announced it has developed a machine to decode an individual's DNA in a day for $1,000, a long-sought price goal for making the genome useful for medical care. Life ...
