Are you more than others affected by the moods of other people? Do you become unpleasantly aroused when a lot is going on around you? Learn how it's linked to your mental health.

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

Nucleus Genomics today introduced Preview, a new approach to carrier screening that expands what couples can learn before conception. By combining rare and chronic disease screening with trait ...

Daphne O. Martschenko and Sam Trejo both want to make the world a better, fairer, more equitable place. But they disagree on whether studying social genomics—elucidating any potential genetic ...

In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Every blue-eyed person you have ever met carries the same genetic fingerprint, a single mutation buried deep inside a gene ...

Fruit shape is a defining trait that influences both crop quality and consumer preference, yet its genetic control remains ...

But thanks in part to trees planted in areas where the two fungi don’t grow well, the American chestnut isn’t extinct. And efforts to revive it in its native range have continued, despite the long ...
