Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have shown that genetic messages are misplaced in nerve cells in a model of Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. These messages mostly ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

ETH Zurich scientists have created “MetaGraph,” a revolutionary DNA search engine that functions like Google for genetic data. By compressing global genomic datasets by a factor of 300, it allows ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

People who submit DNA to ancestry websites are now leading to arrests. Christine Franke was a 25-year-old college student when she was shot dead in her Orlando apartment on Oct. 21, 2001. Though DNA ...

The best home DNA kits provide us a window into our ancestry, genetic traits, and overall health. They can trace family roots, reveal inherited characteristics, and even help you discover distant ...
