Scientists at USC have definitively demonstrated that large sets of variations in the genetic code that do not individually appear to have much effect can collectively produce significant changes in ...

Scientists testing a new method of sequencing single cells have unexpectedly changed our understanding of the rules of genetics. The genome of a protist has revealed a seemingly unique divergence in ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

A new clinical trial suggests magnesium supplements may boost gut bacteria that help block the development of colon cancer – ...

Researchers believe that's partly down to the spider's 'dark DNA' - a mysterious part of the animal's genetic code, and they ...

New research has uncovered how specific genetic variations determine whether individuals are more likely to develop autism-like traits or psychosis, offering new insights into the genetic roots of ...

A new genetic study has traced prehistoric human migration from Asia to North and South America. The findings are helping underrepresented Indigenous groups understand their ancestral origins.The ...
