Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...
People often remark that allergies run in their family, but the genetic causes have remained unclear. Previous food allergy ...
Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.
A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.
About 30% of the tendency to experience “aesthetic chills” from music, poetry, or art is linked to family-related factors.
