Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, ...

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that could contribute to complex diseases, such as breast cancer, type 2 ...

New research shows it’s possible to edit the DNA of human embryos with more precision. But scientists warn it’s still not ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it presents differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small changes in gene sequences have been linked to an ...

A study led by the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), working in collaboration with an ...
