Sequencing diverse populations revealed over 41,000 transcripts missing in Eurocentric references, exposing ancestry bias ...

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

A study has found that more than 41,000 missing RNA transcripts and hundreds of potential new genes have been overlooked due ...

A meta-analysis of 80,737 cases identifies five new variants and 22 risk genes, highlighting three potential drug targets for ...

As global temperatures rise, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) scientists work to grow stronger, more resilient crops. Yet ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

A new study confirmed a risk score, based on a map of genetic variants known to affect blood pressure, successfully identified people with Type 2 diabetes who are at increased risk for heart attack or ...

In work funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute, a global team of scientists has created a genetic map called the HapMap. Researchers hope it will help them track down the genes for a ...
