Scientists have discovered how pancreatic cancer cells continually reshape their genetic makeup to become more aggressive, spread, and evade treatment.…

The Malik Lab thrives on competition. But for HHMI investigator Harmit Malik and his team at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, it's the genomes—not the people—that are in conflict.…

An analysis of nearly one million genomes finds that genetic risk is common, but the presence of risk-related DNA does not mean a person will develop a disease

Has anyone else here heard that argument and become upset? Like it just gives them a pass, like ‘oh it’s just because they were hurting’. It’s not true. It’s an evasive, flawed way to escape reality- but why do people propagate it?…

Huggins Face released Carbon-X, a 14B-parameter open-source model combining genomic sequences and natural language to query DNA changes. Running locally wi

Explore AlphaGenome Atlas, a catalogue predicting the molecular effects and AVI scores for 9 billion single-nucleotide variants across the human genome.

A common liver disease affecting nearly 30% of adults worldwide may be far more complicated than scientists previously realized. Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered that fatty liver disease actually consists of five distinct biological subtypes, each…

Researcher and policy adviser who championed tests and treatments for genetic diseases.

A new global study of nearly 1,900 species, co-authored by National CASC scientists, shows that species with higher genetic diversity are better able to persist in changing conditions and expand their ranges as the climate warms.

Genetic analysis of 1039 people buried in Britain between the Bronze Age and the Norman conquest highlights the impact of the Romans, Anglo-Saxons and Vikings on the island’s ancestry

Biologists Omar Abudayyeh and Jonathan Gootenberg use Co-Scientist to scan thousands of papers and identify over 20 novel factors that could reverse cellular aging.

An investigation of the Estonian Biobank and the UK Biobank has identified more than 88,000 associations between more than 8,000 genomic regions and metabolic traits.…

Generations of “sociobiologists” have tried and failed to argue that genetic analysis offers the key to understanding social inequality. A new book fares no better.

From Popular Science: 1.3 million people share DNA with Maryland’s earliest colonists

A survey of more than 300 mouse strains has found widespread discrepancies between how mutant mice are reported and their actual genetic make-up.…

Lifting a veil of uncertainty in blackberry genetics, a national team of horticulture scientists have discovered evidence pointing to the single genetic region that controls primocane-fruiting, or the ability to flower and fruit on first-year canes.

When species are subjected to changing environments, they can survive in their current location through genetic adaptation. However, this ability is not unlimited.…

Until now, studying the genetic processes in cells required destroying them—making it impossible to observe these processes over extended periods of time.…

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers stumbled upon a bizarre genetic code in a microscopic pond organism.…
