Scientists have developed a unique smart material characterized by supersensitivity to DNA signals. It is several orders of magnitude more sensitive than the closest competitor. Moreover, the new material exhibits a higher sensitivity than that of the vast majority of currently available express DNA assays.

Scientists have created an incredibly detailed map of breast cancer, revealing how specific genetic changes shape the physical tumor landscape.

Researchers have evaluated the effects of genes implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders; the results suggest that the disorders have a complex causation involving many genes.

A new study suggests that two microRNAs play a critical role in a mechanism that results in ventricular enlargement in a type of mouse model.

Radiation from cell phones is linked to higher rates of thyroid cancer among people with genetic variations in specific genes, a new study led by the Yale School of Public Health finds.

By studying mumps virus transmission using genomic data, researchers have revealed new links details about how the disease can spread.

Women who go on to develop type 2 diabetes after having gestational, or pregnancy-related, diabetes are more likely to have particular genetic profiles, suggests an analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions.

Scientists have discovered hundreds of unusually large, bacteria-killing viruses with a complexity normally associated with living organisms.

A large-scale, multi-center study has provided insights into brain changes in those with a rare genetic disorder associated with schizophrenia.

Dozens of molecular steps that bring about endometrial cancer have been analyzed, helping form a clearer "molecular roadmap" of events that fuel the disease.
