The past decade has delivered landmark advances in human and medical genomics that shape how we understand disease mechanisms ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

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 ...

The findings shed new light on human reproduction and suggest pathways for developing treatments to lower the risk of ...

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 ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

Genetic variability and sex-specific differences may play a role in sickle cell disease (SCD)-related pain; however, more research is needed. In the present study, saliva samples from 59 adults with ...

Is Obesity Genetic or Environmental? Get All the Details This article was reviewed by Lynn Marie Morski, MD, JD. Key ...

A large genomic study shows human genes strongly influence the oral microbiome. Variants in genes such as AMY1 alter bacterial communities linked to plaque, cavities, and dentures use.

For the first time, researchers at King's College London and the University of Florence have identified the specific genetic ...

For the first time, the tools to rewrite human biology are moving from speculative fiction into regulated clinics and ...
