By Hugo Francisco de Souza Rare genetic variants in a little-studied nicotine receptor subunit are linked to markedly lower ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

For many years, scientists have known that genetic variants, or differences in DNA code across people, play some role in neurological and psychiatric disorders. But the details were murky. Now, ...

In recent years, the development of large-scale sequencing projects has identified numerous genomic variants in the human genome. For instance, the NyuWa genome resource (Cell Reports, 2021), led by ...
