Alex Marson of Gladstone and his collaborators at Stanford University developed a genomic mapping technique that helps close ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...

The human brain is the most complex system we’re currently aware of. Learning the genetic basis for its evolution, and the changes that distinguish Homo sapiens from our closest relatives, could ...

A recent study has shown that the human ancestral DNA plays a crucial role in defining an individual's longevity.

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

Baylor Genetics, a joint venture clinical diagnostic laboratory at the forefront of genetic testing, and the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine have entered a lab ...
