A new genome-wide study uncovers evidence of the first three-way relationships between human genetic variation, variation in the fungal component of the human microbiome — known as the mycobiome — and ...

Like other species, we are the products of millions of years of adaptation. Now we're taking matters into our own hands.

The team first looked at variation in data from genetic sequencing of 106,973 post-menopausal female participants in the UK Biobank study. Researchers focused on rare types of genetic changes which ...

Summary: A new study suggests that autism may be linked to the rapid evolution of brain cell types unique to humans.

As genetic sequencing technology becomes more accessible and efficient, researchers have made significant strides in understanding the genetic underpinnings of various diseases. This knowledge has led ...

Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...

Scientists at Princeton and the Simons Foundation have identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, using data from over 5,000 children and a powerful new computational method. These ...

Experts say the research could reveal more about the role of genetics in autism and lead to more personalized care. A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with ...
