Researchers from Karolinska Institutet have discovered how mammalian cells prevent the gradual buildup of harmful mutations ...

A newly developed mouse model enables real-time visualization of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP2) during DNA transcription, as ...

In a recent study published in PNAS, researchers introduced the Genomic Pre-trained Network (GPN), a multispecies model developed to learn genome-wide variant effects by self-supervised pretraining on ...

Analyzing changes to DNA in the blood can improve the ability to predict a person's risk of developing type 2 diabetes within a decade. Scientists looked at the influence of these changes – known as ...

In our bodies, there are trillions of cells. From white blood cells to skin cells, each type has its own specific function which helps us perform tasks and survive. But what makes up these cells and ...

When the first modern humans arose in East Africa sometime between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, the world was very different compared to today. Perhaps the biggest difference was that we—meaning ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.
