Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

The unmistakable refreshing snap of a freshly cut cucumber is not an accident of nature but the product of a complex genetic ...

One of biology's fundamental questions is how our genes shape who we are. Adrian Serohijos and Stephen Michnick, professors ...

Understanding gene regulation may be key to interpreting human disease genetics. Genes are regulated in part by stretches of DNA called enhancers, which define when, where and how strongly each gene ...

By Will Dunham WASHINGTON, Sept 23 (Reuters) - Scientists have created a detailed map of gene activity within a crucial part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, gaining insight into normal ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...
