Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team ...

Separating direct, indirect and parent-of-origin genetic effects in the human population. Cell Genomics. DOI: 10.1016/j.xgen.2026.101277 ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Genome sequencing has been used to determine how much genes influence human characteristics including height and weight, and susceptibility to diseases like type 2 diabetes, in a study co-led by ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

A major mouse study found that some inherited traits are passed down through epigenetic changes that break the classic rules ...

The human brain is the most complex system we’re currently aware of. Learning the genetic basis for its evolution, and the changes that distinguish Homo sapiens from our closest relatives, could ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

Scientists studying 1,300 golden retrievers have uncovered genetic clues explaining why some dogs are more anxious, energetic, or aggressive than others. Remarkably, several of the same genes linked ...
