Results from a new study help resolve the decade-long mystery of why many patients with the deadliest form of skin cancer do not respond to the latest cancer treatments. Specifically, researchers ...

Development and Validation of an Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence Risk Estimation Tool Incorporating Real-World Data and Evidence From Meta-Analyses: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study Data ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

The new method relies on methyl groups, small chemical tags attached to DNA that regulate whether genes are on or off. This ...

An analysis of ancient DNA and modern disease risk suggests some immune genes may reduce allergy risk rather than increase it ...

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 ...

New research challenges long-standing assumptions about human evolution, revealing that natural selection has been more ...

Most gene-editing tools are blind to context. Point them at a DNA sequence and they cut, whether that sequence sits inside a ...

The work demonstrates the power of ancient DNA to illuminate human biology and medicine in addition to history. A massive ...
