EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

Scientists reveal a hidden second layer of human DNA, showing how genome folding controls genes and influences disease development.

A new study suggests that certain genetic differences, passed down from ancient human ancestors, and exposure to common present-day chemicals could explain why some women are more likely to develop ...

From dwarfism to overgrowth, scientists unravel the complex genetic blueprint that determines how tall—or short—we become. Review: The genetic basis of human height. Image Credit: XiXinXing / ...
