Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...

A massive genetic analysis of more than 6 million people is revealing new clues about why mental health disorders frequently overlap.

A novel risk locus at 1q21.2 was identified, with the lead variant near MCL1, a regulator of apoptosis, showing a protective effect. The study revealed a genetic correlation of 0.39 between IPF and ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

Researchers headed by a team at the University of California, Irvine, Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have built what they suggest is the first cell type-specific gene regulatory ...

Researchers from several Parisian institutions have worked together to develop a non-destructive approach to study how ...

A new study published in Science estimates that roughly half of the variation in human lifespan is determined by genetics, ...

New research from a multi-institutional team, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, reveals that heart failure and atrial fibrillation share underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms, ...

UCLA researchers have uncovered a hidden weakness in some of the deadliest cancers, revealing a potential new strategy for ...
