Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

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 ...

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex ...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Researchers reprogrammed bacterial bridge recombinases to edit large genomic regions in mammalian cells, revealing a ...

DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic stability and its failure can lead to human disease. Various DNA repair systems exist, such as base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, ...

Regular contact with fire could play a key role in the formation of the human genome, affecting the mechanisms of healing and immune response. This is the conclusion reached by scientists at Imperial ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
