This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

Climate change tests the resilience of farmers and their crops. To better understand how plants respond to their dynamic environments, scientists magnify the complex biological conversations between ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have traced the genetic changes that allowed animals to colonize land not once but ...

Researchers have determined the gene mutation responsible for an observable trait in bison -- albinism. A research team led by scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical ...
