A recent study published in Nature explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to better understand the how human genetic disruptions lead to a variety of diseases. For the study, a new ...

As a teenager just moved to Iowa from war-ravaged Germany in 1951, John M. Opitz, M.D., wanted to study developmental biology, but his “very Prussian” mother insisted he go to medical school instead.

And then help us understand, like, biologically what’s happening in the patient’s nervous system… Dr. Poduri: Yeah so, magnetic resonance Imaging, or MRI, really became, at the turn of the last ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine are hopeful new research could prevent up to 130,000 unneeded fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsies of thyroid nodules and subsequent ...

The relationship between the gut microbiome and the human body is complex. While the microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract have major impact on various aspects of health, many factors can ...

James C. Schnable's pioneering genetics research got him recognized with the 2026 National Academy of Sciences Prize in Food ...

Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

Smithsonian researcher Sarah Johnson studies bison specimens to understand how the species’s genetic diversity changed after its decline ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.
