Whether you turn red when drinking alcohol, dislike certain smells, or metabolize drugs differently from others, the ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

DNA synthesis is going global. The biosecurity rules aren’t keeping up.

Elucidating the relationship between the sequences of non-coding regulatory elements and their target genes is key to understanding gene regulation and its variation between plant species and ecotypes ...

A Stanford Medicine study of thousands of breast cancers has found that the gene sequences we inherit at conception are powerful predictors of the breast cancer type we might develop decades later and ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

Because identical twins develop from a single fertilized egg, they have the same genome, the entire set of genetic material found in an organism. So, any differences between them, even in traits with ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have identified issues with most genomic sequence data for the Neisseria gonorrhoeae ...
