Deciphering the biological pathways behind rare genetic diseases often involves assembling a team of specialists to work closely with the family members of those affected.
A new study shows connections between genetics, biomarkers in the blood, and mental disorders - opening new avenues to understand the causes of mental illness and find new treatments.
Advances in technology have enabled researchers to sequence the large regions of repetitive DNA that eluded the Human Genome Project.
People who had high genetic sensitivity were more likely to see long-term benefit from a relationship help course.
Genetic analysis of caribou populations reveals that some groups are genetically more predisposed to migrating than others. But human activities are affecting these behaviours.
Scientists are just beginning to decode the genetic messages in your food – and how that may affect your health.
How we’re linking together genetic material from thousands of people - modern and ancient - to trace our ancestors and the history of our evolution.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is surprisingly common, affecting about one in four adults. Eating processed foods and sugary drinks can increase the risk of developing the disease.
DNA contains all the instructions needed to make your body work.
The numbat is one of the Tasmanian tiger’s closest surviving relatives. And its newly sequenced genome raises the possibility of piecing together the genetic code of its extinct fellow marsupial.
Our feelings about nature depend on lots of factors, but a new study shows our genes are one of the most important.
Cases of the Omicron sub-variant BA.2 are now in Australia. While there’s no evidence it causes more severe disease than the original Omicron, early research suggests it’s more transmissible.
A medical genomics professor reflects on how lab simulations offer some advantages for student learning, but developing the muscle memory of performing hands-on lab work is important.
How to make sense of ‘polygenic’ risk scores.
DNA and mRNA vaccines produce a different kind of immune response than traditional vaccines, allowing researchers to tackle some previously unsolvable problems in medicine.
Whether it’s a special treat or family traits, children’s risk of being overweight or obese is strongly linked to their grandparents.
The politically ambitious Sisulu’s most recent campaigning grenade came in her cynical attack on the country’s constitution and judiciary.
Genes and environments almost always combine to influence our risk of diseases. Research in twins has helped us understand how.
Our findings also have potential implications for the identification and treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.
