The new effort to revive the saga strives to replicate the virtues of the classic in an exaggerated, and enjoyable at times, ...

The biological differences between men and women extend far beyond genetics. A major international study sheds new light on these disparities from a fresh perspective. Researchers from the ...

This simple habit can reduce post-meal blood sugar by 20-30% in people with prediabetes or diabetes risk. Exercise consistency matters more than intensity for diabetes prevention.

“This focus on issues beyond ‘simple’ genetics is what defines the role of a genetic counselor. The role is distinct from that of a medical geneticist and is trained in psychological aspects.” ...

Also Thursday in the same journal, researchers from the same team revealed 59 genetic variants on the X chromosome significantly associated with autism, including PTCHD1-AS (when it’s near DDX53).

Testing for genetic mutations in urine can detect bladder cancer years before the disease shows clinical symptoms, new research has shown. The study, by researchers from France, Iran and the ...

Simple genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and thalassaemia are just that — simple. A single gene underlies them. Finding it is like climbing a steep hill — hard work but straightforward.

Before 400 B.C., Phoenicians from the western Mediterranean who lived in North Africa had fairly simple genetic profiles: only individuals who died in North Africa had North African ancestry.

Genetic variations in sex chromosomes have been known for nearly 100 years. Before that, in 1905, Nettie Stevens made observations that led to the XY determination system.

CS Genetics, a leader in next-generation single-cell genomics, today announced the launch of SimpleCell™ 3' Gene Expression kits, its first commercial offering designed for accessible and ...

A genome is the entire set of genetic information that makes up an organism. This information is packaged into sequences of DNA we call genes, which in humans are spread along 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Researchers have published a simple trick that improves the accuracy of techniques that help us understand how external variables—such as temperature—affect gene activity in plants. March 13, 2024 ...
