Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers.

Researchers have identified genetic variants in the FOXP4 gene that significantly increase the risk of developing long COVID, independently of COVID-19 severity. The study also reveals that ancestry, ...

Songbirds who make the arduous flight from their nesting sites in northern boreal forests to warm, southern climates in the winter may be rewarded for their journey with greater genetic diversity.

A new study provides new insight into height differences between adult men and women, demonstrating that Y chromosome genes contribute more to height than their X chromosome counterparts.

Complex traits are influenced by genes and the environment, but especially the latter is difficult to pin down. This important study uses C. elegans to demonstrate that non-genetic differences in gene ...

DNA is the genetic code that provides the biological instructions for every living species, but not every bit of DNA helps ...

If you or someone in your family has diabetes, you might be wondering if it is genetic. There are different types of diabetes. For each type, there are specific risk factors that make someone more ...
