WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A new technique has given researchers a "big picture" look at the genome of the AIDS virus, the first time its entire gene map has been decoded. The technique may not only lead ...

The effort to produce a map of the human genetic code turned into a race three years ago when Celera Genomics Corp. of Rockville announced it could do the job faster and more cheaply than an ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

The human genome contains about 23,000 genes, but only a fraction of those genes are turned on inside a cell at any given time. The complex network of regulatory elements that controls gene expression ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...
