A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, ...

His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Researchers have mapped 30 million cells to create a definitive atlas of the human neocortex. This blueprint reveals how human brain development differs from other mammals and provides a roadmap for ...

Type 1 diabetes researchers have made great progress in understanding the disease in the last two decades, even as a cure ...

At the turn of the century, the biomedical research community saw a landmark global effort, when scientists built a reference human genome sequence to better understand the genes underlying health and ...

Our ancestors are known to have gotten frisky with other, now-extinct species of humans, leaving traces in our DNA to this day. A new analysis has found that a certain genetic variant inherited from ...
