People from isolated parts of the U.K. could have variations in their genetic code that increase their chance of developing certain diseases, a study suggests. The most genetically distinct ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Single-letter genetic variations within parts of the genome once dismissed as 'junk DNA' can increase cancer risk through wormhole-like effects on far-off genes, new research shows. Researchers found ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

In the last ten years, Saudi Arabian healthcare has started to take a more profoundly scientific and unexpectedly personal turn, concentrating on decoding DNA ...

In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body's ...

Millions thrive at high altitudes due to remarkable genetic adaptations. Tibetans, for instance, possess a gene variant allowing efficient oxygen use without dangerously thick blood. Andeans and ...
