A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...
A virus that infects nearly all children early in life has, in rare cases, been present within human DNA for thousands of ...
In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...
The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project have created a detailed map that not only showcases the human genome in 3D, ...
In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...
A novel risk locus at 1q21.2 was identified, with the lead variant near MCL1, a regulator of apoptosis, showing a protective effect. The study revealed a genetic correlation of 0.39 between IPF and ...
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.
In a first-of-its-kind pursuit, scientists have mapped the human genome in four dimensions (4D), according to a study published in the journal Nature. The project is named "4D Nucleome Project." It ...
The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...
Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
