The Greater Middle East is home to a rich genetic diversity that remains largely untapped in genomic research. This Perspective explores its potential for rare disease research, obstacles limiting ...

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...

Plant genetics deals with heredity in plants, specifically mechanisms of hereditary transmission and variation of inherited characteristics. Plant genetics differs from animal genetics in a number ...

Even though a large proportion of cancer patients carry genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to cancer, only a small percentage of them — and their family members — undergo ...

Genes play a role in our likelihood of developing depression, and one of the most extensive studies of its kind has now been able to link 293 previously unknown genetic variations to the devastating ...

Nearly 300 new genetic variants have been linked to depression, according to a new study that included a large sample of nearly 5 million people. The international team, led by researchers at the ...

Previous genetic studies of Huntington's, including studies by Vanessa Wheeler and Ricardo Mouro Pinto at Massachusetts General Hospital, hint at possible ways to slow this expansion.

“It’s only when the repeat becomes extremely long that it begins to cause harm,” said co-senior author Steve McCarroll, an institute member and director of genomic neurobiology at the Stanley Center ...

19 ban. But there are some topics that are off limits for American users to talk about on the app — like the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. TheWrap learned that firsthand on Wednesday.

The study identifies 106 genetic variants linked to occupational status, highlighting the interplay between genetics, family environment, and childhood aspirations.

Scientists have found 697 genetic variants – or small changes within a gene – linked to depression, of which almost 300 were previously unknown. A Queensland scientist described the project as ...
