Tiny, newly formed tumors shed small fragments of DNA that are swept into the bloodstream. Future cancer screening tests could detect them early.

Genomic research holds incredible promise for improving human health, but one major challenge has slowed its progress: ...

Understanding human biology requires more than mapping our genes—we must also understand how gene expression is regulated to ...

LINE-1, a "jumping gene" making up 20% of the genome, invades DNA during cell division using protein-RNA clusters, offering ...

There is more movement in our genome than we think. Almost half of the human genome consists of transposons—short DNA ...
