Researchers have discovered that the human brain undergoes widespread age-related changes in genome regulation beginning in midlife that may help explain why aging is the greatest risk factor for ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

An international team of scientists a family genome sequences known as “transposable elements,” and found they play a vital ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

A gene can vanish, and life can go on. That is one of the most striking lessons from a sweeping new analysis of 173,303 genomes from Pakistan. This project is reshaping how researchers think about ...
