The largest study of its kind - comparing the genetic sequences of almost half a million people - has revealed many different parts of our genetic code that seem to influence same-sex sexual behaviour.

It seems genes have a greater influence than previously thought not only on the number of moles you have but also where they are on your body.
Changes in our environment can reveal previously hidden mutations in our DNA with potentially good and bad consequences.
Space missions are dangerous. But when it comes to long missions, radiation may be the greatest threat to astronauts’ health.
New research outlines how the ancestors of modern humans interbred with several archaic human groups on the passage from Africa to Australia.
Having different coloured eyes is quite unusual, but it happens in many species throughout the animal kingdom.
New study challenges traditional view of Parkinson’s disease.
New research investigated who uses the wide array of tools available to people who’ve received their own raw genetic data and want to maximize what they learn from it.
News of the gene-edited babies excludes images of the children’s mother. Cutting her out of the picture underscores the idea that the mother is obsolete and babies can be created in the lab.
Understanding our evolution can tell us a lot about the health challenges we face today.
A global research effort is targeting inherited disorders in dogs.
People with a sweet tooth can (partly) blame their genes for their sugar habit. New research shows how the brain also gets involved.
Scientists are in a race to genetically engineer a new plant resistant to a devastating disease that is threatening to wipe out the banana.
You may think that your milk-drinking, ice cream-licking days are behind you as you battle the discomfort of lactose intolerance. But there maybe be a way to reverse the situation.
Genomics research is crucial to identify Africa-specific solutions to a range of diseases.
Before you attribute a trait to a famous ancestor like George Washington or Marie Antoinette, you might want to see how much DNA you actually share with these people. It’s not what you thought.
Teeth covered in pits were common in the 2m-year-old species Paranthropus robustus.
Scientists and ethicists have called for a five-year moratorium on editing human genes that will pass on to future generations. Yes, society needs to figure out how to proceed – but is this the best way?
Mental health is impacted by both genetic and environmental factors. But new research reveals that many mental health disorders may flow from early disturbances in fetal development.
Scientists worldwide are calling for a moratorium on gene editing in germline cells. But what is a germline cell? How does it differ from other cells in our body? Why does it matter if we edit them?
