One of the world's biggest genetic databases comprises DNA data donated over the years by more than a million retired military service members. It's part of a project run by the Department of Veterans ...

A stretch of viral DNA in the mouse genome gives cells in early-stage embryos the potential to become almost any cell type in ...

In patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who received induction-concurrent (chemo)radiotherapy, persistent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA positivity or its resurgence during treatment was associated ...

Differences in the pattern of a biochemical modification called DNA methylation in blood-generating cells and their progeny can be used to accurately track clones through differentiation. This ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University have developed an exceptionally accurate method for predicting chronological age from DNA, based on two short genomic regions. Using deep learning networks ...

A study in Biological Psychiatry has identified an epigenetic signature in newborns for genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia, revealing that an increased genetic risk of schizophrenia and other ...
