This comprehensive e-book from The Hindu explores how gene editing tools like CRISPR and synthetic biology are fundamentally changing what it means to be human and are giving us the power to modify ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Here are the 10 most-read news stories about HMS-led discoveries in 2025.

Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...

In a study published in Genome Research, a team of researchers, including Cornell College Assistant Professor of Biology ...

Investigating context-specific genetic associations can lead to deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying human traits. With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence ...

Your "roommate's" genes could be influencing the bacteria living in your gut, and vice versa, according to a study of rats ...
