Cornell researchers have discovered a new application of spatial transcriptomics, an imaging technique that analyzes and maps the gene activity in a tissue sample. The researchers used this technique ...

More people are turning to genetic counseling to understand their DNA and assess their risk for certain diseases. As part of ...

Scientists discovered that aging DNA repeats expand at wildly different speeds—and in some people, the consequences can be devastating. A sweeping genetic study drawing on data from more than 900,000 ...

Cancer researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have discovered that mutations in certain genes can lead to the accumulation of DNA errors, ...

An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

A phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism that result from the interaction between its genotype (genetic makeup) and the environment. It encompasses an organism's ...

Researchers study house sparrow genetics to understand survival, evolution, and how species respond to environmental change.

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from ...

Researchers have discovered 195 genomic regions jointly associated with schizophrenia and osteoporosis-related traits, ...
