A new study suggests that the long-standing Mendelian view of genetics has some blind spots.

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...

The genomics of peppermint are not as fresh as their flavor but scientists from the University of California, Davis, have found a way to breathe new genetic variation into the species. The findings, ...

Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...

Nature and nurture both determine how likely you are to develop a particular disease. Hiroshi Watanabe/DigitalVision via Getty Images Sitting in my doctor’s examination room, I was surprised when she ...
