The genetic heritage is not a simple, static list inside the cell nucleus. It unfolds into a dynamic architecture whose intimate folds govern the destiny of cells. A mapping of ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations ...

Researchers develop a groundbreaking genomic mapping to reveal how genes interact to cause diseases, paving the way for ...

Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...

A new study from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) shows 14 psychiatric disorders share genetic roots, which can explain ...

Currently, there are several hypotheses surrounding the disappearance of Neanderthals. While they all have at least some scientific support, researchers can't agree on which—or which combination—is ...

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 ...
