An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated over and over, become ...

In Brazil, the early detection of genetic alterations in lung cancer through liquid biopsies could be a valuable tool for ...

Ancestry and lifestyle choices of parents may affect the rate and type of new genetic changes that arise in their children, new research has found. The study sheds light on factors that influence the ...

Using sequencing instruments from multiple vendors, scientists from the University of Utah Health, the University of Washington, PacBio, and elsewhere have developed what they claim is the most ...

In a study published in Current Biology on August 14, Prof. Miao Wei's team at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Zhang Jianzhi's team at the University ...

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

Biological aging undeniably affects human cognitive function. 1 However, how this happens—the underlying factors, interactions, and processes—remains unclear. He and his team want to understand how ...

Three genomic assessment centres have progressively started offering genetic testing services in Singapore. Read more at ...
