Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have discovered key insights into the molecular basis of skin color variations among African populations. Their findings, published in Nature Genetics, ...

A research team at the University College London (UCL) Genetics Institute has conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) that provides novel insight into the evolution of variety in human skin ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

Sarah Tishkoff Of the University of Pennsylvania led a collaborative team of researchers who have discovered key insights into the molecular basis of skin color differences among Africans. “There’s so ...
