Researchers identified three chromosome 21 genes that are overactive in brain cells of individuals with Down syndrome, and demonstrated partial molecular correction using antisense oligonucleotides.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

The Y chromosome, the male relation genetic signature, has been a mystery to scientists for centuries. It’s the most repetitive and complex region of the human genome, and never before was it possible ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

This story is one of many exploring recent advances in the science of longevity and aging. The following few articles in the series, including this one, will focus on the relationship between genetics ...
