With plans for 25 international hubs, the Earth BioGenome Project is poised to increase global genomics capacity and deliver high-quality reference genomes, argues Dr Paul Flicek, The Jackson ...

SNPBag is a large language model pre-trained with whole-genome SNP data from 1 million synthetic individuals. It is currently fine-tuned for 5 tasks: Folders contain code for reproducing figures on ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three ...

From a lab bench in Chicago to a global consortium effort, scientists have drawn the most detailed four-dimensional maps yet of the human genome, tracking how chromosomes fold, loop and shift around ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level. In a ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

Around 45 percent of human DNA is made up of transposable elements, or TEs—genetic leftovers from now-extinct viruses that scientists once believed to be “junk DNA.” But that view is changing, and a ...

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...
