A new study suggests that inherited traits explain a small but measurable share of why some people relocate far from where ...

We have been taught that we each have our one unique DNA, a genetic code that is a fixed and sacrosanct definition of our being, identical copies housed in each cell of our bodies. When we spit in a ...

New findings reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development.

Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of California-Davis (UC Davis) are combining in vivo experimentation with computation for highly accurate prediction ...

What makes the human brain distinctive? A new study published July 21 in Cell identifies two genes linked to human brain features and provides a road map to discover many more. The research could lead ...

Johan Jakobsson is professor of neuroscience at the Lund University Faculty of Medicine, where he leads the Laboratory of Molecular Neurogenetics. His lab is affiliated with the Lund Stem Cell Center, ...

A new AI-powered cerebrospinal fluid liquid biopsy accurately classifies brain tumours using tiny DNA fragments. Learn more.

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...

Liquid biopsies, which test body fluids that contain cancerous material, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), are a noninvasive way to learn about a cancer's biology. However, technological ...
