Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

Oxford and Cambridge researchers who produced the image map which uncovers the secrets of why humans get disease say it ...

Genetic tweaks allowed early humans to stand, balance and walk on two legs instead of moving on all fours like other primates ...

Scientists are hopeful it will improve understanding of how genes work, what goes wrong in disease, and how to fix it.

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Scientists have discovered how LINE-1, a “jumping gene” that makes up 17% of the human genome, inserts itself into DNA. Using ...
