The Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen), a resource that works to define the clinical relevance of genes and variants, has published data on more than 2,700 genes curated for relevance to genetic ...

Genes are segments of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that are located inside every human cell. The DNA inside each cell is tightly coiled in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a ...

Philadelphia, June 5, 2023 – The first gene mapping study on eyebrow thickness in Europeans discovered three previously unreported genetic loci, as reported in a Letter to the Editor in the Journal of ...

The human Y chromosome, responsible for male sex determination, has forfeited 97% of its ancestral genes over the past 300 million years. Evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves cautioned it "is running ...

Guardant Health Inc. expanded its cancer testing to include one that provides multi-dimensional insights into tumor profiles and microenvironment that can be used to guide therapy selection. The ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

Claims regarding 50% genetic similarity, while likely overstated, are based on a comparison of similarly functioning genes, not the specific DNA sequences that make up the human genome. A popular ...
