Genome sequencing has been used to determine how much genes influence human characteristics including height and weight, and susceptibility to diseases like type 2 diabetes, in a study co-led by ...

Using full genome sequencing data from more than 347,000 individuals, researchers quantified how much genetic differences explain human traits such as height, body mass index, fertility, and disease ...

The Nature Index tracks primary research articles from 145 natural-science and health-science journals, chosen based on reputation by an independent group of researchers. The Nature Index provides ...

Using next-generation instruments and groundbreaking DNA-reading techniques, scientists have uncovered much of the genetic code of the woolly mammoth, a prehistoric species of ele ...

DNA might be too small to see with the unaided eye, but it packs our cells in shocking quantities: More than six and a half feet of DNA lies within every cellular nucleus. It squeezes into such a ...

Ultra-low-pass whole genome sequencing (ULP-WGS) of circulating tumor DNA appears to provide important prognostic information regarding patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), according to ...
