Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

CHICAGO --- In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed ...

Stem-cell models provide evidence that viral DNA sequences that entered the human genome in the past were repurposed to aid early stages of embryonic development. Sherif Khodeer is in the Department ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

Includes "Science genome maps 11: The human genome," a detatchable chart explaining the human genome project, and "Annotation of the celera human genome assembly," a separate wall chart.

Due to their repetitive and complex DNA sequences, centromeres have been viewed as the "black boxes" of the genome for decades. Often overlooked in sequencing projects but playing a critical role in ...

Google DeepMind’s research team recently published in the international academic journal *Nature* the development process of an artificial intelligence (AI) model called **AlphaGenome** that predicts ...
