Most modern humans with non-African ancestry carry small amounts of Neanderthal DNA across much of their genome but have little-to-none on their X chromosomes. New research from Penn challenges an old ...

IF TIMING IS everything, then Thomas Hartung picked a bad moment to make his move. Dr Hartung is an environmental toxicologist at Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, who has spent his career ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery. By Carl Zimmer In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind ...

Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D and illustrates how its structure changes over time. According to the study, ...
