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.
About 30% of the tendency to experience “aesthetic chills” from music, poetry, or art is linked to family-related factors.
EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...
An international team of researchers led by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark has pinpointed some of the reasons why obesity does not affect everyone ...
From dwarfism to overgrowth, scientists unravel the complex genetic blueprint that determines how tall—or short—we become. Review: The genetic basis of human height. Image Credit: XiXinXing / ...

New findings reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development.
When Neandertals were first discovered nearly 170 years ago, the conceptual gap between their lineage and that of modern humans seemed vast. Initially scientists prejudicially believed that the ...
