People from isolated parts of the U.K. could have variations in their genetic code that increase their chance of developing certain diseases, a study suggests. The most genetically distinct ...

Single-letter genetic variations within parts of the genome once dismissed as 'junk DNA' can increase cancer risk through wormhole-like effects on far-off genes, new research shows. Researchers found ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

A new study found certain genetic variants could help explain how long-term pesticide exposure could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease. A new UCLA Health study found certain genetic variants ...
