Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published today in Nature Communications.

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...

Researchers have unveiled two major breakthroughs: a gene network map linked to Parkinson's disease and a new understanding of how early proteins folded with limited amino acids. The Parkinson's study ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible to the cellular machinery that works to express the right genes at the ...

Researchers have shown that different epigenome proteins can produce distinct gene expression patterns from the same gene, offering new insights into genetic regulation. The findings could help ...

The protein-coding fraction of our genome is like the cast of a Broadway production. Their performance is critical to the success of Biology: The Musical, but a much larger production crew helps ...

Geneticists trying to decipher the "Book of Life" have found it to be more like the impenetrable Ulysses than The Cat in the Hat. Four years after finishing the much-hyped first draft of the human ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have indentified all the changes in cells of two deadly cancers to produce the first entire cancer gene maps and say the findings mark a "transforming moment" in their ...
