A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...

Scientists have discovered a way to look at how DNA functions inside living cells, paving the way for techniques to pinpoint how changes can lead to illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. The ...

The human genome comprises about 3.2 billion base pairs of DNA per cell (University of Oxford/PA) Scientists have discovered a way to look at how DNA functions inside living cells, paving the way for ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments. The ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...
