With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone books.

Structural variants in the human genome include cytogenetically detectable and submicroscopic deletions, duplications, large-scale copy-number variants, inversions and translocations. The ability ...

It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is generated in the human genome, and its relationship to health and disease. The new map, appearing today in the online ...

She has a background in neuroscience and molecular psychiatry ... helping scientists plan and troubleshoot experiments, and of course, genome editing. Nearly five years after joining Sigma, ...

Genome and mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur. These changes are known as mutations.

Sometimes, these footprints alter gene expression (i.e., expression of the gene in which they have been left behind) even after their related TE has moved to another location on the genome.

a genome engineer at Harvard Medical School who was not involved in the study. “With this engineering, they really are competitive.” Sahana is a science journalist and an intern at The Scientist, with ...
