For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Scientists have created the most detailed maps yet of how genes control one another inside the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. Using a powerful new AI-based system called SIGNET, the team ...

Research by Weizmann scientists finds genetics may explain 50% of human lifespan, over twice previous estimates, opening doors to therapies targeting aging itself. How long a person lives may be far ...

Study identified numerous influential “hub genes” that offer promising new targets for early detection and therapeutic intervention.

The genotype of an organism is inherited from its parents through the process of reproduction. During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes half of the genetic material to the offspring, ...

"Understanding gene expression patterns could help develop new drugs or improve therapies," note the authors of the finding, scientists from the University of Santiago de Compostela. An international ...

Nutrigenomics is the scientific field that studies how human genetics and nutrition interact and how they affect a person’s health, well-being, and proneness to disease. The body responds to food and ...

For anyone who relies on coffee to start their day, coffee wilt disease may be the most important disease you’ve never heard of. This fungal disease has repeatedly reshaped the global coffee supply ...

One in eight adults worldwide now lives with obesity, and small changes on the scale can ripple into diabetes, heart failure, and joint disease at home and in clinics. Why some people gain weight more ...

A team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas ...

When astronauts venture into space, a remarkable phenomenon occurs: the activation of the “dark genome” within their DNA. This discovery unveils previously unknown genetic expressions, offering new ...

Domestic pigs bred with wild boar after the nuclear disaster offer lessons in wildlife genetics and invasive species management.
