Across two new papers published Wednesday (July 23) in the journal Nature, scientists sequenced the DNA of 1,084 people ...

Today, researchers announced yet another version of the human genome map, which combines the DNA of 47 diverse individuals—Africans, Native Americans, and Asians, among other groups—into one ...

One sign of the genome’s limited use for medicine so far was a recent test of genetic predictions for heart disease. A medical team led by Nina P. Paynter of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain ...

Map of 'shortcuts' between all human genes Date: March 18, 2013 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: Researchers have generated the full set of distances, routes and degrees of separation ...

Scientists are finally done mapping the human genome, more than two decades after the first draft was completed, researchers announced Thursday. About 8% of genetic material had been impossible to ...

The comprehensive genotype-phenotype maps enabled the discovery of gene functions and dissection of cellular phenotypes—from RNA splicing to differentiation to chromosomal instability (CIN).

Its DNA contains only about one-third as many letters as human DNA does, but roughly the same number of genes, some 20,000 to 23,000.

The data also confirmed a surprising variability in how genes are shuffled, adding a new twist to human evolution and genetics. The company plans to make the new map freely available to researchers.

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps ...

In 2017 the academy concluded that using Crispr for human genetic enhancement was a hard no. But they stopped short of a full moratorium. What about gene editing to address serious, incurable ...
