While 92% of the human genome was sequenced in 2003, scientists have struggled to map the remaining 8%. Until now. David Lumb is a senior reporter covering mobile and gaming spaces. Over the last ...

We often think of biological arms races occurring between the immune system and pathogens, or predator and prey, but biologists have now discovered an example that plays out within a single genome.

The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose intimate folds govern the destiny of cells. A mapping of ...
