Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

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 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 ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it present differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small ... | Genetics And Genomics ...

In work funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, a global team of scientists has created a genetic map called the HapMap. Researchers hope it will help them track down the genes for a ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

Genetics discoveries are rapidly identifying the people at greater risk for cancers and other diseases, but researchers at HealthPartners are concerned that they are happening too fast for doctors and ...

A research team led by the University of California, Irvine has built the first genetic reference maps for short lengths of DNA repeated multiple times which are known to cause more than 50 lethal ...

The UA’s Human Origins Genotyping Laboratory is doing genetic testing for a project that attempts to connect the remote ancestry of human beings. The lab does DNA testing from public participation ...

All cancer mutations that cause drug resistance fall into one of four categories. New research has detailed each type, helping to uncover targets for drug development and identify potential effective ...

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 ...
