Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

C syndrome, also known as Opitz trigonocephaly syndrome (OTCS) or C Syndrome, is a rare and heterogeneous genetic disorder with a broad range of severity. It was ...

Background and Aims Over very short spatial scales, the habitat of a species can differ in multiple abiotic and biotic factors. These factors may impose natural selection on several traits and can ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced DNA detection method that enables rapid, PCR-free genetic analysis. Their technique offers ultra-sensitive mutation detection in just five minutes, reducing ...

Scientists at Princeton and the Simons Foundation have identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, using data from over 5,000 children and a powerful new computational method. These ...

For the families affected by autism, the most haunting and important question is if autism is genetic? The response, though complicated, increasingly leans toward a strong genetic component, albeit ...
