Levine and her colleagues set out to answer this question by studying fruit flies known as Drosophila melanogaster. They ...

Researchers say human versions of identified fruit fly chaperone proteins have been implicated in schizophrenia.

Our genome isn’t as peaceful as it looks—some DNA elements are constantly trying to disrupt it. Scientists studying fruit ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...
