By studying elite controllers—people who are able to arrest the progress of HIV without medication—researchers have found a promising new path.
Every tumor begins with a genetic mutation. Understanding how they occur and what they do may revolutionize cancer treatment.
Poor sleep affects almost half of the country, and solutions have been hard to come by. Tracing the problem to its genetic roots may stop the tossing and turning.
n: A run of mutations in a tumor genome that don’t offer any particular survival advantage.
Consumers are curious about their DNA, and Bryce Mendelsohn thinks hospitals should give them answers.
Is risk of the disorder inherited, or do genes get scrambled in the womb? Researchers may be closing in on some answers.
Genetic tests and genome sequencing are generating terabytes of sensitive private data. How can they be kept safe?
More than marvels of biological architecture, structures within the cell nucleus may be intertwined with aging itself.
Gene changes related to culture may play into how disease affects the body, according to researcher Esteban Burchard.
Genes account for less than 2% of the human genome- and much of what determines health and disease may lie elsewhere.
