Oct. 21, 2024 — New research has revealed a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major diseases that affect the central nervous ...
A team of scientists has discovered surprising connections among gene activity, genome packing, and genome-wide motions, revealing aspects of the genome's organization that directly affect gene ...
Inhibition of LINE-1 reverses the cells to the earlier 8C state, which has less green/red overlap (left). A critical transition in early human development is regulated not by our own genes, but by DNA ...
The discovery challenges previous understanding of these DNA segments, indicating that transposable elements (TEs) are critical to ensure that human embryonic cells progress normally through early ...
