The Alabama Senate Thursday approved a bill defining “sex-based terms” strictly based on biological sex.

In 2024, Myriad Genetics was awarded three patents related to foundational platform MRD technology and cell-free DNA preparation methods that each enable highly sensitive and specific tumor-informed, ...

The 99.9% genome-sequence identity that is often proposed to exist between humans might therefore be considered an overestimate if a stricter definition of identity that takes structural variants ...

Scientists from a collaboration of Australian research institutions have proposed that editing multiple genetic variants in human embryos could significantly lower the likelihood of developing ...

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

Genome evolution is the process by which a genome changes in structure over time, through mutation, horizontal gene transfer, and sexual reproduction. The study of genome evolution involves ...

These symbiotic relationships provide clues as to how genetic material was exchanged between bacteria and beetles. Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of ...

Even though a large proportion of cancer patients carry genetic mutations that make them more susceptible to cancer, only a small percentage of them — and their family members — undergo ...

Your body is a collection of cells carrying thousands of genetic mistakes accrued over a lifetime—many harmless, some bad and at least a few that may be good for you Amber Dance, Knowable ...

Genes play a role in our likelihood of developing depression, and one of the most extensive studies of its kind has now been able to link 293 previously unknown genetic variations to the devastating ...

In addition to opening a new window into how human genetic mutations can operate, the researchers hope that their insights lead to new strategies that improve or ultimately save the lives of people ...

For their definition, the group focused on adiposity, the amount of fat stored in the body, and how it affected organs and tissue. “We define clinical obesity as a chronic, systemic illness ...
