Personalised medicine is based on the idea that by understanding the specific molecular code of a person’s disease, and particularly its genetic makeup, we can more accurately tailor treatment.
A peek inside the genome of the octopus gives some hints as to what makes it such a remarkable creature is so many ways.
What if you could take a simple test to reveal your individual risk of developing a range of cancers and hundreds of other diseases?
We are entering a new age of genome sequencing, but we have to draw some ethical lines
The High Court challenge is the last resort for Ms D'Arcy’s test case against companies patenting human genes and has implications for patients, clinicians and researchers.
The epigenetic ‘musicians’ that play our genomes in different ways might help us understand the causes of autism.
Genetic techniques are helping scientists work out how to stop invasive species before they rack up huge environmental and financial costs.
The compact system that can cut the process of sequencing the Ebola virus from weeks to days.
Poaching, habitat destruction and disease have reduced mountain gorilla numbers for decades, but how have these threats affected their genomes?
Genomics is increasingly hailed by many as the turning point in modern medicine. Advances in technology now mean we’re able to make out the full DNA sequence of an organism and decipher its entire hereditary…
An ambitious project has been launched that will involve sequencing genomes of 100,000 individuals to improve our understanding of a range of diseases and – hopefully – eventually find new treatments for…
Today’s land birds, from ducks to eagles, shared a common ancestor after dinosaurs went extinct – just one finding from bird gene studies published in journals, including Science and GigaScience…
The 100,000 Genomes Project has just sequenced the 100th genome. The project, launched by the prime minister two years ago, aims to sequence 100,000 whole genomes from NHS patients and families with cancer…
The sheep genome has been sequenced after an eight-year collaboration involving 26 institutions from eight countries. The…
After a decade of research, an international team decoded the genes of the tsetse fly – the transmitter of trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness. Human trypanosomiasis is a widespread tropical disease…
There’s a huge variety in physical appearance in Latin America: there are indigenous native Americans, descendants of African slaves, Europeans and Middle Easterners of all kinds, and Chinese and Japanese…
Mistakes in the paper version of the Encyclopædia Britannica took a long time to correct – years often passed between revised editions – but these days editing information is much easier. In electronic…
Genomes from the 500-year-old remains of King Richard III and a direct living descendant are to be sequenced by scientists, which could reveal more about the life of the last king to be killed in battle…
In a world-first project, Australian researchers have mapped koala genomes. A partnership between QUT and the Australian…
