Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

Fish caught in the same trawl and sold under the same name may in fact have significant genetic differences. Beneath the surface of the Skagerrak lies a biological diversity that is rarely seen in ...

Several genetic variations were recovered in individuals during remission compared to those in active disease. Recovered features included reduction of plasma and cell cycle signatures and increase of ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

You have your mother’s eyes and your father’s smile, but genetics is much more than just what’s on the surface. In a study that spans more than a decade, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Next-generation sequencing technologies have catapulted the field of genomics back into the spotlight thanks to fast, accurate, and historically low-cost sequencing methods. As of today, the cost of ...

Meet the luckiest people on Earth — individuals carrying a rare genetic mutation that prevents wrinkles from forming even as they age well into their 80s. These genetic lottery winners have provided ...
