After analyzing the genomes of more than one-quarter of a million military veterans, a team of scientists have identified 18 specific, fixed positions on chromosomes (known as loci) that appear associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Four million UK patients could benefit annually from genetic testing before being prescribed common medicines, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) in collaboration with Boots UK and Leiden University (Netherlands).

In a new paper, researchers reveal that they have succeeded in developing a technology that allows them, for the first time, to pinpoint millions of RNA molecules mapped inside tissues with nanoscale resolution.

A team has reported the highest resolution by far of the 3D genome of the primate brain, and demonstrated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of human brain evolution through cross-species multi-omics analysis and experimental validation.

A Quebec research team has discovered two early plasma markers to detect Alzheimer's disease five years before its onset.

There’s a better end for used food than taking up space in landfills and contributing to global warming. Scientists have discovered fermented food waste can boost bacteria that increase crop growth, making plants more resistant to pathogens and reducing carbon emissions from farming.

A new University of California, Irvine-led study finds a new method for identifying biomarkers may aid in early cancer diagnosis. The study illustrates the importance of considering cell heterogeneity when calculating the DNA methylation level from sequencing data.

Using AI and supercomputers, researchers have discovered reoccurring patterns and combinations, known as "motifs", of the four molecular building blocks A, C, G and T, connecting them to gene expression, that is, average amounts of produced proteins.

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell University’s Ithaca campus have developed a new computational method for studying genetic and environmental interactions and how they influence disease risk.

A team of researchers has uncovered a novel and druggable insulin inhibitory receptor called "inceptor".
