Neural networks are computing systems designed to mimic both the structure and function of the human brain. Caltech ...

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

A map of DNA methylation changes in human organs—from the stomach to the retinas—could help researchers discover more targets ...

Biochemists have developed a new strategy for controlling the biological functions of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by means of light and therefore provide a tool to investigate processes which take ...

Quantum mechanics, which rules the world of the teensy-tiny, may help explain why genetic mutations spontaneously crop up in DNA as it makes copies of itself, a recent study suggests.

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

The team identified 70 specific DNA methylation sites that helped explain between 10% and 73% of the connection between early adversity and depressive symptoms.

DNA sequencing determines the order of nucleotides in DNA, revealing an organism's genetic code. Advances in sequencing technologies enable faster, more accurate, and cost-effective genome analysis.

A new study finds the first Americans had Denisovan DNA, offering clues about ancient immunity and genetic adaptation.
