Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine alumnus and former faculty member Hamilton O. Smith, M.D., whose 1978 Nobel Prize-winning discovery of restriction enzymes revolutionized genetic ...

Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Michael Buck, PhD, professor of biochemistry in the Jacobs School, recently received NIH funding to explore how molecular readers of DNA access and activate seemingly hidden genes.

Unveiling a new chapter in the understanding of human genetics, scientists have discovered a hidden geometric code within our ...

A new genomic method has enabled multiple people with rare conditions to receive diagnoses that were previously unattainable ...

Research institutes are projected to capture 50% of total market revenue in 2025, reflecting their pivotal role in genomic innovation. These institutions rely heavily on high-throughput sequencing ...

A signal unlike any other has reached Earth. The 3I/ATLAS project detected a unique transmission using the Fibonacci sequence ...

Scientists have long thought of DNA as an instruction manual written in the four- chemical bases—A, C, T, and G—that make up the genetic code. The prevailing belief was that by decoding these ...

Unlike conventional culture-based testing, which identifies only a fraction of microbes, metagenomic sequencing allows ...

ETH Zurich scientists have created “MetaGraph,” a revolutionary DNA search engine that functions like Google for genetic data. By compressing global genomic datasets by a factor of 300, it allows ...

A 96% accurate blood test for ME/CFS could transform diagnosis and pave the way for future long COVID detection. Researchers from the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics have created a ...

Scientists are venturing into the realm of de-extinction, aiming to revive the woolly mammoth using advanced genetic engineering techniques. This endeavor is part of a broader initiative targeting 25 ...
