Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Despite incredible advances in genomics, the NGS data interpretation workflow for hereditary diseases remains challenging. The field is rapidly evolving, and novel findings are uncovered daily, ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have revealed a previously overlooked layer of genetic variation that ...

Twenty years ago last month, scientists sequenced the first human genome in the landmark Human Genome Project. Among the many things they discovered was that while any two humans have 99.6 percent of ...

Experts say the research could reveal more about the role of genetics in autism and lead to more personalized care. A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with ...

Scientists at Princeton and the Simons Foundation have identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, using data from over 5,000 children and a powerful new computational method. These ...
