Scientists at Northwestern Medicine have developed a new genetic risk score that predicts who is most likely to experience irregular or dangerous heart rhythms. The test merges several types of ...

Scientists have sequenced the oldest RNA from a 40,000-year-old mammoth named Yuka, unlocking genetic activity from its final ...

New discoveries are showing how genetic variations can affect our health, from disease risks to how we respond to medicines. Understanding the genetics of animals, plants, and microbes helps us see ...

Scientists extracted 39,000-year-old RNA from a frozen woolly mammoth, revealing which genes were active when it died.

A Washington resident has been hospitalized with bird flu, and they're infected with a strain of the virus that hasn't been ...

Zoos and wildlife parks across North America are home to hundreds of giraffes that awe millions of visitors each year. These ...

Researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, have uncovered the hidden code governing how genetic mutations affect RNA splicing and result in disease. The researchers were able to ...

URBANA, Ill. – Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way ...

Most organisms on Earth have the same basic genetic code, but it comes with some flaws. Scientists sought to work out those errors by creating their own artificial genome, which replaced E. coli’s ...

Join us for an insightful webinar on the use of polygenic risk scores (PRS) for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The analysis of genetic variation across large populations plays a crucial role in ...
