Researchers have spent decades—and billions of dollars—sequencing animal and crop genomes, but fungi have historically been the forgotten middle child of genomics, only noticed when they're ruining ...

A handful of start-up firms are testing therapies that target specific epigenetic markers to treat everything from high ...

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that ...

Base editing, the process used to make the changes, only nicks one strand of DNA, avoiding the major DNA errors that made ...

Researchers led by developmental biologist Kathy Niakan at the University of Cambridge have used base editing in human embryos to learn more about human embryonic development. By deactivating a gene ...

A pathogenic BRCA result is presented as clinically actionable information that enables risk stratification, anticipatory guidance, and self-advocacy rather than determinism about cancer development.

Autism spectrum disorder affects males far more frequently than females, with diagnoses occurring roughly four times more often in boys. Scientists have long suspected that females may possess ...

A newly identified gene mutation may help explain why schizophrenia patients struggle to update their understanding of reality. The mutation disrupts a brain circuit involved in flexible ...

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for 16-year-old Lucas Wang, it was an opportunity to kick start what he hopes ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Abstract: Large-scale uniform arrays encounter critical challenges due to dense element arrangements, including excessive hardware, elevated computational complexity, high costs, strong mutual ...
