Many human traits are influenced by multiple genes. Human genes can also carry slight variations in their gene sequences, which can have a wide range of effects. In some complex traits, those small ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Extracting and analyzing relevant medical information from large-scale databases such as biobanks poses considerable challenges. To exploit such "big data," attempts have focused on large sampling ...

A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health. When a single gene is the culprit ...

In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

On Monday, February 9, the Huberman Lab podcast, hosted by Andrew Huberman, featuring Dr. Kathryn Paige Harden, explored the ...

It’s estimated that one in four adults will suffer from some type of anxiety disorder at some point, such as phobias of ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers from the United States of America conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on personality traits to identify ...
