DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

Fragments of DNA from long-extinct human relatives still circulate in modern genomes, and in some cases they do more than linger. They actively shape how people survive in extreme environments. The ...

Google DeepMind's new model deciphers how hidden DNA changes drive disease, predicting gene regulation effects with high accuracy and offering breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease and personalised ...

An international team of researchers led by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the University of Copenhagen in Denmark has pinpointed some of the reasons why obesity does not affect everyone ...

Sequencing nearly half a million genomes, researchers show that most additive genetic influences on height, lipids, and other complex traits are now directly measurable, while pinpointing ultra-rare ...

New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...
