Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

A new study published in Neurology, led by Queen Mary University of London, has revealed that people of South Asian, African ...

Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

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

A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species ...

"This is a landmark study in the field of Alzheimer's research and is the culmination of 30 years' work," the co-author said. PHILADELPHIA -- An additional 42 genes connected to the development of ...

Scientists usually study the molecular machinery that controls gene expression from the perspective of a linear, two-dimensional genome—even though DNA and its bound proteins function in three ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Gene expression, where cells use the genetic information encoded in DNA to produce proteins, has been thought of as a dimmer light. How much a particular gene gets expressed ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

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 ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Conservationists saved the fuzzy creatures in Victoria, Australia. Now, the animals are showing remarkable signs of genetic recovery ...
