In the ongoing effort to determine just how much of who we are is preordained by our genetic code, heritability, a ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

AlphaGenome is a DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction to understand genome function.

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

The past decade has delivered landmark advances in human and medical genomics that shape how we understand disease mechanisms ...

Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

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 ...

By integrating long-read and short-read transcriptomics with whole-genome resequencing, the team uncovered specific transcript variants and genetic ...

For the first time, researchers at King's College London and the University of Florence have identified the specific genetic ...
