There’s 99.9% similarity across human genomes, with the remaining 0.1% variation being what makes each person unique.1 In ...

Nutrigenomics is the scientific field that studies how human genetics and nutrition interact and how they affect a person’s health, well-being, and proneness to disease. The body responds to food and ...

DNA methylation is a key epigenome component that helps dictate how genes are expressed, contributing to normal cell and tissue differentiation during development, as well as the process of biological ...

Review explains how olive oil’s bioactive compounds influence key genetic pathways to improve glucose metabolism, reduce inflammation, and support beta-cell function—offering a natural approach to ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

Despite spanning about three billion base pairs, the human genome is wrapped up tight in a highly organized fashion in the nucleus. This coordinated structure, in part, enables the cell to regulate ...

Alphabet Inc.’s Google DeepMind today introduced AlphaGenome, a new artificial intelligence tool that can comprehensively predict how mutations or variants in human DNA sequences impact gene ...

A new international study suggests that ancient viral DNA embedded in our genome, which were long dismissed as genetic "junk," may actually play powerful roles in regulating gene expression. Focusing ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...
