Scientists uncover an ancient link between viral defense and chromosome protection

Why big dogs age faster

Reactivation of the embryonic ζ-globin gene ameliorates severe forms of α-thalassemia

We may need a new map to properly interpret our genome

A new study reveals that autism in boys and girls is genetically highly similar, whereas early- and late-diagnosed autism show distinctly different genetic profiles and associations with other behavioral and cognitive traits.

A new study has found genetic signatures of assortative mating, where people pair up with partners who share similar traits, have grown significantly stronger among more recently born generations in the United States, particularly regarding educational attainment and smoking habits.

Scientists Discover Human Brain Gene BC200 Embedded in a Poxvirus, Revealing That a Functional Gene Involved in Neuronal Activity Has Retained the Ability to “Jump” Between Genomes—A Genetic Combination Never Before Observed

In a successful gene therapy study on dogs with a rare genetic vision condition, scientists discovered that damaged nerve connections in adult retinas can physically repair and rebuild themselves.

New Genetic Candidates May Help Explain Why Autism Is Diagnosed More Often in Males Than Females — Researchers Identify Genetic Factors That Could Shed Light on Sex Differences in Autism Risk and Reveal Why Females May Be Less Susceptible to Certain Genetic Influences.

Engineered Bird Genes Inserted into target human sites using only RNA: Scientists engineered ancient “jumping genes” from birds to insert DNA into target human sites using only RNA

New research reveals how a protein linked to Alzheimer’s risk can alter the way the brain’s immune cells process fat and trigger inflammatory responses, offering a possible explanation for how the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease affects the brain.

New paper recovers complete genomes from the mosquito microbiome using adaptive sequencing

Genetics may play a smaller role in shaping personality than many people assume

Genetics may influence how people respond to some traumatic experiences more than others, particularly in childhood, data from 144,000 people in the UK suggest

Huge genetic study finds strong links between DNA and personality traits

scientists discover potential pancreatic cancer treatment by targeting protein in cancer patients who died within a year.

A Genetic Mutation May Help Explain Lung Cancer in Nonsmokers: carriers of the inherited EGFR gene mutation had a 60-fold higher risk compared to nonsmokers who didn't have the mutation.

Researchers have identified 36 genes that substantially raise the risk for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and chronic tic disorders – providing what two researchers said is the most detailed biological understanding of how these conditions develop – and how they might eventually be treated

A clearer picture of microbial communities: Metax improves taxonomic profiling

A large-scale genetic study has found activating the GLP-1 receptor, the biological target of popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs, is associated with improved mental well-being and a significantly lower risk of depression and bipolar disorder…

Prototyping a Small Genetic Algorithms Library inHaskell (2019)

3-year field trials identify 4 promising soybean genotypes that successfully combine early maturity with taller stature, strong branching, and higher first-pod placement, offering a clear strategy for breeding crops suited to short growing seasons of the Russian Far East and mechanical harvesting.

Self-parking car using genetic algorithm (2021)

An unhealthy Western-style diet was associated with a faster cognitive decline in people with a genetic risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to a study on 185 older adults followed for more than 7 years

Genetic diversity is a predictor of mortality in humans

Biologist Andrew Newhouse on the genetic revival of the American chestnut

Autism is genetic – and why this information matters now

A new genomic language AI model, GPN-Star, outperforms existing models in identifying genetic variants associated with inherited traits, including variants linked to disease.
