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 thought they had a working map of the human proteome. Some stretches of DNA made useful proteins, while a murkier, ...

How do our genes determine our appearance and our susceptibility to disease? This question is central to biomedical research, and today we can sequence thousands of human genomes to identify these ...

J. Craig Venter's pioneering research helped define modern genomics and launched the field of synthetic biology.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
