Genetic research is finally starting to explain how DNA risk scores translate into real disease, not just in single genes but ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming medicine’s most powerful microscope, revealing patterns in human DNA that were ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...

After decades of intense focus on genetics, the biomedical research community is undergoing a major shift, focusing on a new framework called "exposomics." Similar to the way scientists work to map ...

The majority of rare diseases have a genetic cause. The underlying genetic alteration can be found more and more easily, for example by means of exome sequencing (ES), leading to a molecular genetic ...

This article is all about what’s new and what it might mean for us, covering the latest in genetics in news. New methods like ...

People of South Asian descent are more likely to be affected by heart disease, but their risks often go unnoticed. Researchers are looking to genetics to learn more and prevent early deaths. People of ...

The largest study of its kind into type 2 diabetes has produced the most detailed picture to date of the genetics underlying the condition. More than 300 scientists from 22 countries collaborated on ...

Santhosh Girirajan receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing ...
