Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

Gene-set analysis seeks to identify the biological mechanisms underlying groups of genes with shared functions. Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in generating functional descriptions ...

You're walking around right now carrying the genetic fingerprints of infections that happened millions of years ago. Deep ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a powerful new AI tool called Splam that can identify where splicing occurs in genes—an advance that could help scientists analyze genetic data with greater ...

An HIV-derived nucleoside therapy now treats rare genetic diseases by restoring mitochondrial DNA and improving muscle ...

A new study led by researchers at UTHealth Houston investigated both gene expression and regulation at single cell levels to ...

Using the largest sample of super-agers to date, scientists have found convincing evidence that supports what many of us have suspected: Longevity isn’t just about healthy lifestyle choices, but also ...

Randomized trials of platelet function and genetic testing to guide antiplatelet decisions following PCI have produced notoriously mixed results: now, an updated consensus document aims to fill some ...

New research shows they are less likely to have a gene that increases dementia risk and more likely to have one that may ...
