A Cornell-led study is challenging a decades-old explanation for how chromosomes exchange genetic material within the ...

Most cancers are not driven by a single gene mutation, but rather an accumulation of mutations that develop over the evolution of tumor growth. While mouse models are useful for identifying cancer ...

Precision medicine models often rely on data from Northern European populations, leading to treatment inequities. Genetic diversity is crucial for understanding disease risk and treatment efficacy, as ...

Hundreds of millions of people worldwide are affected by rare diseases. Behind every case is a family enduring a diagnostic odyssey that can last for years. To improve how public health systems help ...

EPFL researchers have developed Systema, a new tool to evaluate how well AI models work when predicting the effects of genetic perturbations. Understanding how genetic perturbations, when scientists ...

A WISDOM Study analysis shows that pathogenic variant testing can uncover high-risk women who may not qualify for earlier or more intensive breast screening under standard clinical and polygenic risk ...

Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the most common neurological disorders. Although ...

A comprehensive understanding of the genetic architecture of tree growth, a complex interplay of genetics between the plant's above- and below-ground parts, remains undefined in plant studies.

More than 1 million people across the United States live with multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects the brain, optic nerves and spine. MS is an unpredictable disorder, with symptoms - such ...
