What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, ...

AlphaGenome is a DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction to understand genome function.

Are human beings as unique as snowflakes? Not quite, but new research shows humans may have a lot more individuality than originally thought -- in fact, the genetic codes of people can vary by as much ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure have shown differing pathology, suggesting ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...
