Ingrida Domarkienė, a geneticist at Vilnius University in Lithuania, discusses the exciting developments made possible by ...

Ankur Mutreja, Tikesh Bisen, and Balaji Veeraraghavan address the urgent global health challenge of antimicrobial resistance.

AACR's achievement awards and lectureships recognize innovation in basic, translational, clinical, and epidemiological cancer research.

Ten years after learning their polygenic risk score, patients had fewer events—perhaps due to greater use of statin therapy.

The scientists used a combination of short- and long-read sequencing data to assemble and analyze genomes from 28 members of the same family.

Examples include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and minisatellites. Understanding genetic drivers of insulin resistance is crucial for addressing metabolic disorders. Here, the authors ...

Imagine looking into the eyes of a chimpanzee and seeing a flicker of something deeply familiar—a spark that hints at a ...

The gut microbiome supports health through balanced metabolic exchanges, but in type 2 diabetes rising blood glucose shifts interactions from cooperation to competition, altering cross-feeding ...

Population genomics refers to the large-scale study of genetic variation both within and between populations of organisms, ...

This study addresses the structural basis of voltage-activation of BK channels using atomistic simulations of several microseconds, to assess conformational changes that underlie both voltage-sensing ...

A mutation is any detectable and heritable change in nucleotide sequence that causes a change in genotype and is transmitted to daughter cells and succeeding generations. Tools for diversifying ...
