An analysis of genetic data from over 900,000 people shows that certain stretches of DNA, made up of short sequences repeated ...

Scientists discovered that aging DNA repeats expand at wildly different speeds—and in some people, the consequences can be devastating. A sweeping genetic study drawing on data from more than 900,000 ...

Newly sequenced Native genomes showcase a wealth of surprises, from previously unknown populations to unique high-altitude adaptations.

The tiny little powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria, are unique among organelles because they carry their own tiny ...

But some Neanderthal DNA helped modern humans survive and reproduce, and thus it has lingered in our genomes. Nowadays, ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Management of mitochondrial-related heart disease relies on multidisciplinary care and symptom control, as targeted gene-editing therapies are limited.

Genomics advances are reshaping drug discovery, with Pacific Biosciences of California emerging as a key player in next-gen ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have revealed previously unappreciated roles for the retrotransposon LINE-1 in shaping the cancer genome structure and regulation.
