Have you ever wondered why some people might get sicker than others, even when they catch the same virus? It is not yet clear why this is.

Scientists long thought that siblings born with ASD share more of their mother’s genome than their father’s. But researchers have now shown that, in many cases, it’s dad who might be playing a bigger genetic role.

Scientists have designed a new cell-like transport system that represents an important milestone on the road to artificial cells.

Scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University have harnessed this unusual protective ability in a novel gene-editing strategy aimed at eliminating HIV-1 infection with no adverse effects on cell mortality.

Researchers have discovered that stimulating cells’ DNA repair mechanisms may correct the inherited genetic defect that defines fragile X syndrome, a leading cause of autism spectrum disorders.

A research team has constructed a synthetic oscillatory system in yeast that can respond to dual oscillatory signals.

Researchers have discovered a molecular epigenetic mechanism, common to several species throughout the tree of life, which mediates long-term cellular responses to particulate matter such as air pollution.

Researchers have just made a promising advance in understanding the origins of mirror movement syndrome, an inherited neurological condition that manifests as involuntary movements.

A rapid, efficient assay system for validating gene variants linked to mitochondrial diseases has been developed by researchers in Japan.

The accuracy of polygenic scores varies between individuals across a continuum of genetic ancestry – and this is true even in populations that are traditionally considered as homogeneous.
