It’s been over three years since the first known COVID infection. Since then, we’ve seen hundreds of millions of cases around the globe. You’ve probably had it – at least once, if not multiple times – ...

The discovery could shed light on why many human genetic studies have previously not been able to fully explain how certain diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, are inherited. The study, ...

The genetic diagram shows all of the possible alleles for a particular characteristic. Dominant alleles are capital letters, while the recessive alleles are lower-case letters. This genetic diagram ...

The genetics of a patient may influence disease progression following an HIV infection by triggering mutation in the HIV viral genome, scientists have suggested. Scientists have long observed ...

A new study could help to answer an important riddle in our understanding of genetics: why research to look for the genetic causes of common diseases has failed to explain more than a fraction of the ...

A new study has provided new insights into the the genetic overlap among some psychiatric disorders, and can help explain why it’s not uncommon for several of these disorders to arise in the same ...

Myeloma of sphenoid sinus (photo: Wellcome Images/CC by-nc-nd 4.0) Researchers have identified eight new genetic variations in the human genome that could be linked to an increased risk of developing ...

Parents and adults spend a lot of time worrying about the influence of friends and peers when it comes to teen substance use – drinking alcohol, binge drinking, marijuana use and other illicit drugs.

No form of birth control is 100 percent effective. Now, a new study provides an explanation for why a small number of women who use hormonal contraceptive methods still become pregnant, even if they ...
