Scientists sequence a woolly rhino genome from a 14,400-year-old wolf’s stomach

Super agers, people with exceptional mental clarity, are 68% less likely to carry the Alzheimer's associated APOE-ε4 gene and 19% less likely than cognitively normal peers aged 80+ to carry the same gene

Half of suicide victims don't have known psychiatric risk factors, genetic studies reveal less likelihood of depression gene presence, suggesting unique anonymity in risk factors

A Generalizable Framework for Modeling and Correcting Rare Genetic Diseases Using CRISPR Prime Editing

Genetic evidence suggests people began transporting pigs much earlier than once thought

Tofersen, a new drug approved by the FDA for a genetic form of ALS, delays symptom progression and death and in about one-quarter of participants leads to stabilization or improvement

When we talk about the genetic code we usually think of DNA/RNA

Genetic relationships between the gut microbiota and prostate cancer: Mendelian randomization combined with bioinformatics analysis

First ancient human herpesvirus genomes document their deep history with humans: certain human herpesviruses became part of the human genome 2,500 years ago, and have been evolving with and within humans since at least the Iron Age but lost the ability to integrate into human chromosomes early on.

A recent study revealed the genetic diversity of H13 avian influenza viruses in migratory shorebirds in eastern China

Gut bacteria shown to evolve differently in industrialized vs non-industrialized regions, with one adaptation aiding in the digestion of highly processed foods, suggesting rapid evolutionary responses to diverse diets

Research reveals genetic links between chronic fatigue syndrome and long COVID

Prime editing-installed suppressor tRNAs for disease-agnostic genome editing

Certain genetic differences, passed down from ancient human ancestors, and exposure to common present-day chemicals could explain why some women are more likely to develop endometriosis

Scientists found that a virus uses one tiny chemical bond to deliberately unbalance its shell, allowing it to release its genetic material faster once inside a cell

Italian bears living near villages have evolved to be smaller and less aggressive, finds study, as centuries of close contact with humans reshaped their evolution, reducing genetic diversity and favoring behavioral traits that limit conflict in an isolated Apennine population.

A study finds that one microbe, a member of the Archaea, tolerates a little flexibility in interpreting the genetic code, contradicting a 60-year-old doctrine.

Breakthrough genetic therapies can save lives, but many cost millions for single dose

ADHD up to 15x more likely with 3 gene variants: Groundbreaking research uncovered a set of just 3 gene variants that can increase the likelihood of ADHD by up to 15 times

Traces of a previously unknown group of people, genetically distinct from their neighbors, have persisted for at least 8,000 years in the central Southern Cone of South America, study finds.

Scientists identify a crucial brain feature connecting genetics to intelligence

We are all mosaics: genetic diversity found between cells in a single person

Genes may predict suicide risk in depression; Depression in young adulthood has a stronger hereditary component and is associated with a higher risk of suicide attempts than depression that begins later in life
