Life is precious, and many of us try to do everything “right” to live longer. We eat better, move more, avoid pollutants, ...

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Although mental disorders have multifactorial causes, genetics can explain some of them, yet this field remains largely unexplored in terms of guiding diagnoses and treatments. In the largest study of ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

A new study found certain genetic variants could help explain how long-term pesticide exposure could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease. A new UCLA Health study found certain genetic variants ...

Understanding biodiversity within species is key to our understanding of why nature works the way it does, say researchers ...
