Analysis of more than one million people shows that mental-health disorders fall into five clusters, each of them linked to a ...

A plant's success may depend on how well the three sets of genetic instructions it carries in its cells cooperate, according ...

A study suggests psychiatric disorders can share the same genetic signatures and that they may stem from shared biological mechanisms.

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...

The current standard methodology in forensic DNA typing relies on amplification of short tandem repeat (STR) markers by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and allele sizes (i.e., length-based) ...

A study by Kristin Winchell (NYU) sequenced the genomes of these reptiles and found 93 specific genes related to limb and skin development that had diverged from forest populations. The city lizards ...

In genetics, scientists must analyze the genomes of millions, if not billions, of people, each carrying millions of variants. It’s an unfathomable amount of data. Which leads us to another central ...

After decades of intense focus on genetics, the biomedical research community is undergoing a major shift, focusing on a new framework called "exposomics." Similar to the way scientists work to map ...

For decades, the case remained unsolved until a breakthrough came over 55 years later. In 2023, investigators reviewed the ...
