Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

The future of personalized medicine is rapidly becoming a reality, powered by advances in genetic testing and healthcare. Once limited to research labs, genetic insights are now transforming how ...

Scientists have recently leveraged the massive amount of human health and genetic data in the UK Biobank to learn more about how small variations in the sequences of genes are related to metabolic ...

How much do your genes and upbringing determine your success? A landmark Norwegian study untangles the complex interplay between genetics, family, and social policies in shaping who thrives. Study: ...

Methane isn’t just an environmental buzzword—it is energy lost. Every puff of gas from a cow’s rumen represents feed energy that could have gone toward growth, milk or a calf. That simple truth is ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...

Why does the same virus barely faze one person while sending another to the hospital? New research shows the answer lies in a molecular record etched into our immune cells by both our genes and our ...

Arun Durvasula has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Science. Sitting in my doctor’s examination room, I was surprised when she told me, “Genetics ...

Scientists are discovering that our tendency to develop certain phobias might be written in our DNA before we even encounter the things that terrify us. Evidence from twin studies suggests that ...
