In Canada, 14.4 per cent of South Asians have Type 2 diabetes, the highest prevalence of any other ethnic group in the country. Why is this population so disproportionately affected by diabetes?
A scholar of law and humanities compares bans on dogs with any pit bull genes to “one drop” laws that once classified people with even a single Black ancestor as Black.
Ancient DNA helps reveal the tangled branches of the human family tree. Not only did our ancestors live alongside other human species, they mated with them, too.
Existing genetic data and sequencing tools are overwhelmingly based on people of European ancestry, which excludes much of the rich genetic variation of the world.
Access to instruments and instruction, along with encouragement at home and at school during childhood and early adulthood, can make gaining musical experience possible.
Our study in mice shows epigenetic changes in the mother can be passed to her offspring to influence a critical time in how the spine develops.
Researchers have long debated whether genetics or social background was the biggest factor in becoming obese.
Plant breeding, informed by genetic analysis, could be critical to the future of one of the world’s oldest crops.
Pioneered by the Human Cell Atlas consortium, our understanding of the human body is about to be transformed – and with it, the way we treat and prevent disease
A new study hopes to produce a catalogue of human genetic variation and assess the burden of noncommunicable diseases in 100,000 adults in Nigeria.
The Black Death evolved around Kyrgyzstan, according to new research.
Genetic mutations can impact our ability to reproduce – even via in vitro fertilisation.
If you found the COVID pandemic affected you differently to your friends, it could be down to your DNA.
The birds only live on one island and are all very closely-related.
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.
