A new study challenges the century-old dominance of Mendelian genetics, arguing that most traits arise from complex networks of thousands of genes rather than single-gene inheritance. Researchers ...

A single-cell platform reveals that many genetic mutations converge on shared cellular programs, pointing to simpler, more ...

Individuals that share the same deletion of a portion of chromosome 16 are at risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Deep learning models have shown great potential in predicting and engineering functional enzymes and proteins. Does this prowess extend to other fields of biology as well? Contrary to expectations, a ...

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 ...

Researchers have uncovered the origins and genetic diversity of the Fulani, one of Africa's largest pastoral populations. The study reveals a complex genetic ancestry with influences from both North ...

A large 2026 twin study has found that genetics account for about 50% of the variation in narcissistic traits, with the rest shaped by individual-specific experiences. Shared family environment, ...
