A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

Scientists have pinpointed nearly 300 "hotspots" in the human genome that may increase the risk of bipolar disorder. In the largest study of its kind to date, an international research team conducted ...

A new study shows that long-read sequencing has the potential to improve the rate of diagnosis while reducing the time to diagnosis from years to days — in a single test and at a much lower cost.

Every human being is a vast mosaic of cells that are mostly identical, but different here or there, from one cell or group of cells to the next. Cellular genomes might differ by a single genetic ...

The Department of Genetics and Genome Sciences at CWRU provides an interface between human and medical genetics with basic genetics and provides an exciting atmosphere in which to learn and develop ...

Drug targets that are supported by human genetics are more likely to lead to approved therapies. Research now identifies several promising drug targets and therapeutic repurposing opportunities ...

Postdoctoral scholar Daniela Soto has earned a prestigious fellowship from HHMI with eight years of funding to study the ...
