A study has revealed that certain areas of the brain are larger in moderately and highly active people, providing a protective effect against neurodegenerative diseases.

With the advent of rapid whole genome sequencing, children presenting with an intellectual disability or developmental delay are recommended to have their DNA sequenced to identify the underlying genetic cause.

Scientists have created a probiotic to restore bile salt metabolism, found in the gastrointestinal tract, to counter the onset and effects of Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI).

According to a study, the genes involved in coronary heart disease appear to be the same across all major racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Analyzing the diversity of RNA transcripts in human tissues has enabled researchers to characterize how differences in genes and the environment manifest in the transcriptome.
