The breakome is a new layer in the multiomics landscape—alongside the genome, transcriptome, proteome, and interactome. While it hasn’t traditionally been included among these other omics, we consider ...

The DNA of nearly all life on Earth contains many redundancies, and scientists have long wondered whether these redundancies served a purpose or if they were just leftovers from evolutionary processes ...

Proteins sustain life as we know it, serving many important structural and functional roles throughout the body. But these ...

Scientists found genetic elements linked to hibernation in the human genome. Tapping into them could produce a new wave of ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample, from a man who lived between 4,500 to 4,800 years ago, offers new insights into the potential ancestry of those who belonged to the enduring civilization.

Clusters of genes found in humans match those that hibernating animals like mice use to power down during lean times, a new ...
