What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

Every human being is a vast mosaic of cells that are mostly identical, but different here or there, from one cell or group of cells to the next. Cellular genomes might differ by a single genetic ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

Drug targets that are supported by human genetics are more likely to lead to approved therapies. Research now identifies several promising drug targets and therapeutic repurposing opportunities ...
