DNA is the chemical that codes for proteins which determine our physical traits. This molecule is a double coil connected by cross pieces (called bases). There are four bases that can vary in sequence ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed ...

Week 3 of pregnancy marks a crucial phase when your baby’s genetic blueprint begins to guide development. Although DNA is formed at fertilisation, this week is when genetic instructions actively ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
