Many of the ancient southern Africans, including those who lived between about 10,200 and 1,400 years ago, "fall outside the ...

Despite incredible advances in genomics, the NGS data interpretation workflow for hereditary diseases remains challenging. The field is rapidly evolving, and novel findings are uncovered daily, ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Twenty years ago last month, scientists sequenced the first human genome in the landmark Human Genome Project. Among the many things they discovered was that while any two humans have 99.6 percent of ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you ...

A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with identifiable symptom clusters and lifetime trajectories. Researchers then linked each group to specific biological ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. It is an X-linked recessive disorder that occurs due to changes in the DMD gene, which ...

Scientists at Princeton and the Simons Foundation have identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, using data from over 5,000 children and a powerful new computational method. These ...

Experts say the research could reveal more about the role of genetics in autism and lead to more personalized care. A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with ...
