The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20^100 ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human ...

Genetic studies now identify millions of variants across human populations, yet most disease-associated signals fall outside protein-coding regions. This ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers can show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do there.

Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is one of the most common heritable connective tissue disorders. Early estimates have reported that this genetic disorder affects at least one in 5,000 ...

New COVID-19 variant XFG has firmly positioned itself as the predominant strain in the United States as cases continue to crop up nationwide. Some regions of the U.S. are experiencing higher rates of ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...
