New research led by researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), School of Medicine, reveals a novel map that depicts the human body’s system for addressing and repairing DNA ...

A meta-analysis of 80,737 cases identifies five new variants and 22 risk genes, highlighting three potential drug targets for ...

The UA’s Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory is doing genetic testing for a project that attempts to connect the remote ancestry of human beings. The lab does DNA testing from public participation ...

National Eye Institute (NEI) researchers have mapped the organization of human retinal cell chromatin, the fibers that package three billion nucleotide-long DNA molecules into compact structures that ...

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 ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

A new study, published today in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights on the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint ...

Researchers mapped the organization of human retinal cell chromatin, the fibers that package 3 billion nucleotide-long DNA molecules into compact structures that fit into chromosomes within each ...

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...

A study has found that more than 41,000 missing RNA transcripts and hundreds of potential new genes have been overlooked due ...

Mitochondria generate most of the body's energy. Variations in their genetic material have long been linked to neurological disorders, metabolic syndromes, and cancers. However, most large-scale ...

Using elephant dung and skin samples, researchers said they were able to make a map of elephant DNA that could help track down ivory poachers. They are using their new method to track smuggled ivory ...
