New York researchers took healthy human embryos and successfully modified their genetic code by focusing on a single letter.

Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

DNA modifications drive aging, neurodegeneration, carcinogenesis and chemotherapy drug action. Accurate mapping of diverse DNA modifications with single-nucleotide precision in complex genomes remains ...

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology Sophie Gillett, looked at regions of human genetic code that are known for ...

In mammals, gene expression is governed by both genetic sequences and epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation, that instruct the cells of the body when and how to express each individual ...
