A new genomic atlas gives researchers a cheat sheet for steering stem cells toward curing disease.

Twenty-two years after the completion of the Human Genome Project, scientists have unveiled the most expansive catalog of human genetic variation ever compiled. Across two new papers published ...

Researchers have made the first single cell map of the gene regulatory networks that drive heart failure, revealing crucial information to help develop better heart failure treatments.

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential regulatory elements in the genome to 2.37 million, ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

Kemp said that by analyzing genetic and bone density data from half a million people participating in the UK Biobank, the team was able to pinpoint exactly which cells drive skeletal disease. "These ...
