A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

A recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology suggests that a genetic preference for immediate rewards is linked to less education and earlier parenthood. This provides evidence ...

Rutgers Brain Health Institute supports students through federally funded training grants, scholar programs, and ...

Researchers at VIB and Antwerp University have identified a major genetic risk factor for a rare form of frontotemporal ...

Researchers have found statistically significant links between a gene tied to schizophrenia risk and poorer cognitive ...

Genes may play a bigger role in living a longer life, while lifestyle and luck still shape the outcome, according to a new study.

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Researchers identify a gene expression program in the living human brain that tracks with real-time neurotransmission, bridging the gap between genetics and electrical brain activity.

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

Although mental disorders have multifactorial causes, genetics can explain some of them, yet this field remains largely unexplored in terms of guiding diagnoses and treatments. In the largest study of ...
