A potentially life-changing heart condition, dilated cardiomyopathy, can be caused by the cumulative influence of hundreds or thousands of genes and not just by a single 'aberrant' genetic variant, as ...

Researchers tested phononic nanomaterials designed with an automated genetic algorithm that responded to light pulses with controlled vibrations. This work may help in the development of ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- One of the most significant genetic risk factors for developing Alzheimer's disease is a gene called APOE4, which is carried by almost half of all Alzheimer's patients. A new study ...

Some of the genetic factors linked to anorexia nervosa are also associated with metabolism, suggesting that there may be a biological explanation for why patients with the eating disorder lose weight ...

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health have identified a genetic explanation for a syndrome characterized by multiple frustrating and difficult-to-treat symptoms, including dizziness and ...

For centuries, scientists have wondered what makes human speech unique. Why can we hold conversations while our closest relatives, like Neanderthals, could not? New research may have uncovered a key ...

A massive genome-wide analysis of approximately 200,000 military veterans has identified six genetic variants linked to anxiety, researchers from Yale and colleagues at other institutions report Jan.

For the last few years or so, the story in the artificial intelligence that was accepted without question was that all of the big names in the field needed more compute, more resources, more energy, ...
