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

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.

Common genetic marker associated with faster Parkinson’s disease progression: People who carried the Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) loss-of-function variants experienced 30% to 50% faster motor decline than non-carriers across two independent cohorts

A study of 440,000 people found that humans are increasingly choosing partners who share their genetics

Dendritic morphology and synaptic nonlinearities enhance functional complexity in human cortical neurons

Neandertal growth hormone receptor increases muscle mass in people today: Scientists describe increased activity of the Neandertal growth hormone receptor and how it shapes the bodies of people who carry it today

Protein sequences aren't fully determined by DNA, study finds — across more than 1,000 human samples, Northeastern researchers identified thousands of stable, abundant proteins whose sequences aren't predicted by the genetic code

Screening dried blood spots from a Michigan birth cohort of nearly 2,000 children, researchers found roughly 1 in 27,000 babies had a genetic variant tied to early-onset cancer.

Researchers found a "genetic switch" that triggers neurodegeneration in both a rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease due to waste build-up in microglia

DNA analysis of a 117-year-old supercentenarian reveals genetic and biological clues associated with exceptional longevity, including rare variants and unusually low inflammation.
