Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) often turn up a long list of genes that MIGHT help cause the trait of interest. Many algorithms can help scientists prioritize which genes to pursue further ...

Your DNA has long been known to play a role in shaping your personality. Now, researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) ...

Largest ever multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis of bipolar disorder provides novel insights into the genetic basis of bipolar.

Genome-wide association studies are a means of identifying genes associated with traits or diseases. For those who didn't graduate college lately, here's a guide to how they work, what they find, and ...

Dogs are a compelling model of human obesity, in part because they develop obesity due to similar environmental influences as ...

Proteome-wide association helps parse GWAS data for likely hits. The method turned up 10 new candidate Alzheimer’s genes. They control protein abundance in several ways.

Neuropathology GWAS found four new genes linked to dementia endophenotypes. Three associated with cerebrovascular disease, including a new locus near APOE. The study also tied 19 known AD genes to ...

Of 14 metabolites identified, 2 appeared to have “robust” causal relationships with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

“Short-lived organisms represent a fundamentally different evolutionary strategy, and the idiosyncrasies influencing their aging may not apply to longer-lived models, including humans,” researchers ...

A large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) using data from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veterans Program (MVP) – one of the largest US-based biobanks ...
