Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...

Researchers have devised a new tool for discerning between naturally occurring viral outbreaks and those resulting from lab ...

Findings could help yield more accurate tests for autism and new therapies targeting specific genetic mechanisms.

A new University of California San Diego study published in Cell challenges a long-standing assumption about how animal ...

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...

Researchers have discovered that mutations in the FOXJ3 gene act as a "master switch" failure, disrupting how the brain builds its layers and leading ...

By utilizing long-read sequencing, an emerging technique that reads large sections of the genome at once, scientists at UC San Diego have revealed new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...
