Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

A genome-wide CRISPR study maps 331 genes essential for early brain development, identifying PEDS1 as a new ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

NASA scientists and academic colleagues are studying tiny hairs inside microorganisms to find clues about kidney disease. “To accomplish the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA has to ensure astronauts ...

The effort to produce a map of the human genetic code turned into a race three years ago when Celera Genomics Corp. of Rockville announced it could do the job faster and more cheaply than an ...
