The developmental period is a critical window during which environmental cues interact with the genome to shape lifelong trajectories of health and disease.
It's a common misconception that our genetic makeup is a perfectly even split between our mother and father. While true for many aspects, a closer look at the intricate dance of chromosomes reveals a ...
Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...
Australian researchers have for the first time pinpointed specific genetic changes that increase the risk of severe, ...
A study funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has revealed important insights into the genetics of deposits in the eye, known as reticular pseudodrusen (RPD), that are linked to ...
