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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Your body is a collection of cells carrying thousands of genetic mistakes accrued over a lifetime—many harmless, some bad and at least a few that may be good for you Amber Dance, Knowable ...

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.
