Researchers in the lab of Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) member Xing Wang have discovered the influential role of ...

DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that little-studied DNA structures play a central role in organizing the human genome and controlling gene activity, according to a new study published ...

Many repetitive regions of the genome have been considered "junk DNA" because the available technologies did not allow them ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

D&D‑seq uses base editing to record DNA–protein interactions in single cells, enabling multiomics mapping of transcription ...

Damage to DNA in cancer cells can lead to pieces breaking off chromosomes and floating away, like icebergs cracking off from ...

A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa. By analyzing genetic data from diverse modern African ...
