Our genetic heritage is not a blueprint or an algorithm, as many biologists have imagined, but something else entirely.

People communicate with each other, sometimes face to face, sometimes with a text message or phone call. Cells also communicate with each other, sometimes by touching and sometimes by sending signals ...

Researchers have identified 813 possible cancer driver genes, significantly expanding the list of potential therapeutic targets for treating the disease. The genes help cancer cells grow through a non ...

As predictive medicine advances, legal scholars warn that decades-old federal guidelines could set up a potential clash between your genes and your job. By Emily Baumgaertner Nunn Imagine this ...

Throughout history, most of the world’s genomic research has relied on DNA data from people of European ancestry. A genome is the full DNA code of about three billion (a thousand million) bases, ...

SINGAPORE – Using extremely small amounts of tiny genetic markers, a new device developed by researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) could cut the detection time for a range of diseases ...

DNA stores the body’s operating playbook. Some genes encode proteins. Other sections change a cell’s behavior by regulating which genes are turned on or off. For yet others, the dark matter of the ...
