Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

Twenty-five years ago this week, President Bill Clinton stood before a podium in the East Room of the White House, and, in front of an all-star lineup of researchers and dignitaries, made a historic ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...
