A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of developing a type of alopecia. Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Understanding how genes interact to influence complex traits, such as Body Mass Index or total cholesterol levels, in humans is important for basic biology and precision medicine. Such interactions ...

Arun Durvasula has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Science. Sitting in my doctor’s examination room, I was surprised when she told me, “Genetics ...
