New research published in Scientific Reports provides evidence that the path from genetic predisposition to general ...

Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

One of the greatest challenges biologists face is figuring out which of the myriad variations in a person’s genetic code might make them sick. Artificial intelligence is helping them solve the problem ...

Despite decades of research, scientists struggle to understand the mental health implications of DNA. Researchers were able ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Invited Expert Review, researchers from the University of Haifa have synthesized cutting-edge findings on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), revealing how this complex ...

In the ongoing effort to determine just how much of who we are is preordained by our genetic code, heritability, a statistical measurement of how much variation in a trait can be attributed to genetic ...

The study of the genomes of our closest relatives, the Neanderthals and Denisovans, has opened up new research paths that can broaden our understanding of the evolutionary history of Homo sapiens. A ...
