Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and KU Leuven have discovered a suite of genes that influence head shape in humans. These findings, published this week in Nature Communications, help ...

It’s estimated that one in four adults will suffer from some type of anxiety disorder at some point, such as phobias of ...

A collaboration including Rice University, Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital’s Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) has produced a breakthrough in how to ...

Improving the genetic circuits in eukaryotic protein production systems—like human cell lines or Chinese hamster ovaries—has the potential to enhance their value so they may offer not only their own ...

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 ...

Anxiety disorders - including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and phobias - affect as many as one in four people over the course of their lives.
