Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Small variations in DNA sequence can alter an organism’s response to the environment or susceptibility to disease. Interpreting the impact of genome sequence variation remains a research challenge.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...

Our immune systems function by employing two separate responses when in contact with disease. The first is the innate immune system, which aids in monitoring for infection throughout the body. Innate ...
