GWAS use SNP data in an unbiased manner to scan the entire human genome for associations between particular SNPs and a given phenotype using statistical methods to examine each SNP. After an ...

Gene mutations have consequences both good and bad—from resistance to conditions like diabetes to susceptibility to certain ...

"Genes move differently, depending on whether they are being read or not, leading to complex, turbulent-like motions of the human genome. Understanding the mechanics behind transcription-dependent ...

Other data include more than 6,000 cDNA sequences produced by the Mammalian Gene Collection and 3 million WGS reads for SNP discovery released by the Baylor College of Medicine Human Genome ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA ...

For more basic information about genes, visit the Glossary. A rough draft of the human genome was completed in June 2000. Efforts are underway to complete a final draft of the human genome ...

Scientists have identified a relationship between ancient viral DNA and susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases like ...

New research has revealed a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major diseases that affect the central nervous system. New research from ...

A recent change to South Africa’s national health research guidelines contains newly added language that appears to permit the use of genome editing to create genetically modified children.
