Think of the first draft of the human genome as a book. Published just past the turn of the century, the human genome paved the way for transformative therapeutics. Gene editing and gene therapies now ...

17 FEBRUARY -- Mapping of key genetic signposts across three human populations could help speed efforts to pinpoint disease-related DNA variations, and ultimately may promise more effective, ...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

A massive study with over 6 million participants reveals genetic clusters behind 14 psychiatric disorders, opening the door to better diagnoses and treatments.

This study abroad program is designed to explore the intersection of genetics, culture, ethics, and public policy in a global context. London and Scotland offer uniquely rich educational environments ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...

Here you will learn about the basics of Gregor Mendel's experiments, which defined the basic patterns of inheritance. We will also examine Morgan's early experiments on linkage and the discovery of ...
