For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have traced the genetic changes that allowed animals to colonize land not once but at least 11 separate times across the tree of life, finding that distantly ...

The protein-coding fraction of our genome is like the cast of a Broadway production. Their performance is critical to the success of Biology: The Musical, but a much larger production crew helps ...

A new study, published in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights into the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint for ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...
