Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have revealed a previously overlooked layer of genetic variation that ...

A*STAR scientists have developed a new method to directly and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard “letters” (bases) ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human genome—comprising about 17% of the genome. It is commonly called a "jumping gene" or ...

In context: Thanks to improvements in DNA sequencing techniques, the number of public repositories containing genetic data is growing at a significant pace. Zurich researchers have been working on a ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

On August 24, 2025, the 23rd International Congress of Nutrition (ICN) convened in Paris, France, under the theme "Sustainable Food for Global Health." As the premier platform in nutritional science, ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA molecules. DNA is a molecule found in just about every living cell. Because ...

This valuable work presents an interpretable protein-DNA Energy Associative (IDEA) model for predicting binding sites and affinities of DNA-binding proteins. While the method is convincing, it ...
