Summary: A team of investigators from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Google, and ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

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 ...

Figure 1: KMAP visualisation of SELEX-seq data for the transcription factor MAFK. Each dot represents a k-mer. Clusters of k-mers at the center correspond to DNA motifs, while the surrounding dots ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human cells ...

CRISPR will get easier and easier to administer. What does that mean for the future of our species? In 2016, I attended a large meeting of journalists in Washington, DC. The keynote speaker was ...
