Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of the genome, offering insights into human development.

An international team of researchers co-led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, have identified rules that tell cells how to fold DNA into the tightly packed, iconic X-shaped ...

New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene regulation by identifying certain sequences of proteins called transcription factors that bind to DNA and regulate the expression of ...

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

Treyson Wallace was diagnosed with Argonaut syndrome at the Undiagnosed Disease Program at UW-Madison's Center for Human Genomics and Precision Medicine.
