MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Big things can sometimes come in small packages. A small fern has broken the record for the largest genome yet known, researchers report May 31 in iScience. The plant’s full set of genetic ...

Hybrid rice—bred from two different parents—greatly contributes to food security. However, the process of hybrid seed production is labor intensive, and fully mechanized hybrid rice breeding is ...

An international study has shown how and when entirely new gene mutations, known as de novo mutations, originate in dogs. A key finding is that higher paternal age increases the number of de novo ...
