Scientists have created the most detailed cell map to date showing how genetic variation influences inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), revealing the specific cells and genes that drive the disease.

New study finds two next-generation whole-genome sequencing systems deliver broadly similar accuracy in detecting genetic variants. Read more.

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Genetic divergence and adaptive variation constitute the foundation of evolutionary change in natural populations. Divergence arises when populations accumulate distinct allele frequencies through ...

Genetics influences who of us are more likely to experience a relationship breakdown, and who are more likely to remain ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Texas A&M University have documented at least 522 autosomal sites where DNA ...
