In a recent study published in Nature, researchers in the United States aggregated and processed 76,156 human genomes to construct a genomic constraint map named "genomic non-coding constraint of ...

A consortium of researchers has produced the largest and most advanced multidimensional maps of gene regulation networks in the brains of people with and without mental disorders. These maps detail ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

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 ...

Scientists are one step closer to understanding the 170 billion brain cells that allow us to walk, talk, and think. A newly published atlas offers the most detailed maps yet of the location, structure ...

Researchers mapped genetic blueprints for 51 species including cats, dolphins, kangaroos, penguins, sharks, and turtles, a discovery that deepens our understanding of evolution and the links between ...

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 ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome ...

For years, scientists have sought to create a human artificial ovary, restoring fertility in patients without other options. The first cellular map of a human ovary, recently developed at the ...

In 21 papers published as a package Thursday, researchers have provided a new map of the human brain, refining the resolution, as one scientist described it, from a rough outline of a shoreline to a ...
