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 same pathogen can often elicit very different responses from different people. Scientists sought to understand more about ...

One to two out of every 100 newborn babies are born with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD), yet the exact cause remains unclear ...

A new study has been published in Nature Communications, presenting the first comprehensive atlas of allele-specific DNA methylation across 39 primary human cell types. The study was led by Ph.D.

Scientists have mapped how genetics and life experiences leave lasting epigenetic marks on immune cells. The discovery helps explain why people respond so differently to the same infections and could ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...
