One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

A game-changining achievement in genome science has identified over 140,000 distinct DNA loops in our cells, providing chromosome fold resolution that is among the best ever created. In this ongoing ...

The human genetic blueprint is deceptively simple. Our genes are tightly wound into 46 X-shaped structures called chromosomes. Crafted by evolution, they carry DNA and replicate when cells divide, ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

Neanderthals, the closest cousins of modern humans, lived in parts of Europe and Asia until their extinction some 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies are revealing ever more about the links between ...

For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...
