Genetic testing identifies germline mutations, while genomic testing analyzes somatic mutations in tumors, influencing treatment options. Broader testing criteria are expanding access to genetic ...

We think that understanding these little patch mutations that are just in the temporal lobe itself, and that are mixed in between neurons and dividing cells might help us understand more how ...

A recent study published in Nature explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to better understand the how human genetic disruptions lead to a variety of diseases. For the study, a new ...

The findings shed new light on human reproduction and suggest pathways for developing treatments to lower the risk of ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine are hopeful new research could prevent up to 130,000 unneeded fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of thyroid nodules and subsequent ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

In the beginning, there was only Tasha. Twenty years ago, the purebred boxer became the first domestic dog to have her genome ...

Chimpanzees and bonobos are among the closest living relatives of humans. They share more than 98% of our DNA, highlighting ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...

The relationship between the gut microbiome and the human body is complex. While the microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract have major impact on various aspects of health, many factors can ...

Enable more effective and targeted treatments that address unique needs for patients with pharmacogenomics. The traditional one-size-fits-all approach to medication has long been recognized as a ...
