The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases ...

Scientists built a complete wheat gene map showing how different genes control plant growth and stress response.

This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

In work funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, a global team of scientists has created a genetic map called the HapMap. Researchers hope it will help them track down the genes for a ...

U.S. scientists have mapped the cascade of genetic changes that turn normal cells in the brain and pancreas into two of the most lethal cancers. The result points to a new approach for fighting tumors ...

Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Scientists have identified all the changes in cells of two deadly cancers to produce the first entire cancer gene maps and say the findings mark a "transforming moment" in their understanding of the ...

Researchers have released a first rough draft map of human genetic diversity. The map shows 1.58 million single-letter genetic differences across 71 people of European-American, African-American, and ...

A new study confirmed a risk score, based on a map of genetic variants known to affect blood pressure, successfully identified people with Type 2 diabetes who are at increased risk for heart attack or ...

WASHINGTON – Scientists have linked more than 100 spots in our DNA to the risk of developing schizophrenia, casting light on the mystery of what makes the disease tick. Such work could eventually ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two studies published on Wednesday show it is possible to sequence the entire gene maps of families with inherited diseases and pinpoint the offending bit of DNA. The studies, ...
