A new statistical framework could speed up the search for rare mutations that cause common diseases, helping researchers zero ...
Why are some people unable to hear from birth, even though their inner ear appears intact? One possible cause lies in the so-called OTOF gene. It plays a central role in transmitting sound signals ...

New York researchers took healthy human embryos and successfully modified their genetic code by focusing on a single letter. The tool used, called base editing, acts like an ultra-precise typo ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa. By analyzing genetic data from diverse modern African ...
Throughout history, most of the world's genomic research has relied on DNA data from people of European ancestry. A genome is the full DNA code of about 3 billion (a thousand million) bases, including ...
A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...
Testing the biological sex of an athlete is becoming more common in sport, with governing bodies defending the practice as safeguarding fairness for women. But as the introduction of mandatory genetic ...
