A new study shows that giving mice the human version of a gene changes their squeak, suggesting some of the genetic ...

A recent study found that an 11-minute video on genetic similarities can foster acceptance and reduce prejudice against foreign individuals.

Scientists have identified novel genetic interactions that may contribute to congenital heart disease (CHD), a common birth defect.

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have identified novel genetic interactions that may contribute to congenital heart disease (CHD), a common birth defect.

A groundbreaking data storage technology could preserve an entire human genome in a tiny 5D memory crystal. Developed by ...

To confirm that this genetic variant was truly unique to modern humans, they did an analysis that checked genomes from extinct human species, the Neanderthals and Denisovans. What they found is ...

The study was published in The American Journal of Human Genetics and led by core members of the UCSC Genomics Institute Professor of Biomolecular Engineering (BME) Benedict Paten and Associate ...

The Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences at CWRU provides an interface between human and medical genetics with basic genetics and provides an exciting atmosphere in which to learn and develop ...

"Our work demonstrates the power of using human genetic variation as 'nature's mutagenesis experiment' to probe fundamental biological mechanisms," says Principal Investigator, Dr. Mikhail Spivakov.

Polymerase expression and activity are highly regulated in cells during development by genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. There are few human diseases that have been linked to mutations or defects ...

If human genetics were a tech company, it would have gone bankrupt when steam power came along. Its business plan calls for a trait to appear by chance and then spread by sexual reproduction.

New research suggests a genetic variant in the NOVA1 protein may have played a key role in the emergence of human speech.
