Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

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 ...

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 ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

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, ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

Sarcomas are rare cancers arising in bone, muscle, fat, or cartilage and account for about 20% of the cancers diagnosed in people under the age of 20. Now, researchers from Omico, the Garvan Institute ...

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists have indentified 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 ...

A massive study with over 6 million participants reveals genetic clusters behind 14 psychiatric disorders, opening the door to better diagnoses and treatments.
