For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...
The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients experiencing the same infection. How can two people infected by the same pathogen ...
In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, researchers created a comprehensive atlas to elucidate the combined impacts of genetic inheritance and environmental exposures on the human immune ...

The National Institutes of Health failed to protect brain scans that an international group of fringe researchers used to argue for the intellectual superiority of white people. Credit...Ben Denzer ...
A new deep-learning AI model may help scientists better decipher the plot of the genetic instruction book and learn how typos alter the story. AlphaGenome, created by Google DeepMind, is the latest in ...
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones first emerged and became so diverse.
How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...
