The organization of the human genome relies on physics of different states of matter – such as liquid and solid – a team of scientists has discovered.

Scientists have identified the first blood biomarker for myocarditis, a cardiac disease that is often misdiagnosed as myocardial infarction.

One of the most intact and complete dog genomes ever generated has been mapped in an international study.

Researchers suggest that a drop in atmospheric ozone levels around the tropics is likely to have contributed to a bottleneck in the human population around 60 to 100,000 years ago.

For the first time, the mass of human chromosomes, which contain the instructions for life in nearly every cell of our bodies, has been measured with X-rays.

A new study analyzing the association between an individual’s genetics (genotype) and their observable characteristics resulting from the interaction of genetics and the environment (phenotype), contributes new knowledge to the understanding of human complex traits and diseases.

Researchers have discovered OTUD7A, a gene that impacts the development of Ewing sarcoma, a bone cancer that occurs mainly in children.

A massive genome-wide association study (GWAS) of genetic and health records of 1.2 million people from four separate data banks has identified 178 gene variants linked to major depression, a disorder that will affect one of every five people during their lifetimes.

WHO has assigned simple, easy to say and remember labels for key variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, using letters of the Greek alphabet.

Scientists have started to harness the properties of DNA to craft "topologically tunable" DNA-based complex fluids and soft materials with potential applications in drug delivery and tissue regeneration.
