DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i-motif—a ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Craig Venter, whose work helped define modern genomics and launched the field of synthetic biology, died in San Diego after ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Johns Hopkins MD/PhD student Akshaya Annapragada has been awarded a 2026 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship. She's developed ...

CHICAGO --- In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Venter and his teams achieved a milestone by constructing the first self-replicating bacterial cell controlled by a chemically synthesized genome. American scientist Craig Venter, a global pioneer in ...
