Forty years ago, a postdoctoral researcher named James McGrath who would go on to spend more than three decades as a clinical geneticist and research scientist at Yale, made a discovery that advanced ...

The genetic underpinnings of pigmentation and colour patterning in fish encompass a complex interplay of gene regulation, cell fate determination and evolutionary innovation. Neural crest cells, which ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Behind every unexplained medical condition is a patient hoping for clarity and understanding. For people with suspected inborn errors of immunity (IEIs), genetic testing can facilitate individually ...

A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...
