What can cause changes in DNA sequences? Changes – or mutations – in DNA sequences can be caused by many different factors. There are different types of gene mutations and they can affect anything ...

A global team mapped over 100,000 structural variants in human genomes by applying Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and a ...

To use CRISPR enzymes to edit gene sequences, scientists can tailor them to target a specific sequence within the three billion DNA base pairs in the human genome.

With a regular human genome consisting of 46 chromosomes and around 20,000 genes made up of 3 billion base pairs of DNA, just a slight alteration to our genetic code is enough to cause us disease.
