Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence ...

In the 22nd century, manipulation of the human genome became commonplace. Techniques of genetic engineering advanced to the point where the rich could custom-build fetuses that grew into stronger, ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

Horses have played a critical role in shaping human society, but scientists are still piecing together the story of their domestication. Reading time 3 minutes Roughly 4,500 years ago, humans forged a ...

Putting the uniquely human version of a certain gene into mice changed the way that those animals vocalized to each other, suggesting that this gene may play a role in speech and language. Mice make a ...

Genetic variants associated with canine obesity, particularly DENND1B, are also associated with obesity in humans, new research revealed. Notably, labrador retrievers carrying DENND1B had around 7% ...
