Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

A large 23andMe-based GWAS found that common variants in GLP1R and GIPR help explain why some people lose more weight or ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

New findings could partially help explain why some people appear to lose weight more quickly than others while taking the ...

Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic variation does not involve changes to the genetic sequence that makes up DNA ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Researchers conduct large-scale studies with diverse groups to better understand the genetic factors that influence health and disease. The Million Veteran Program (MVP), for example, includes people ...

‘Genetic predictors of GLP1 receptor agonist weight loss and side effects by Qiaojuan Jane Su et al. was published in Nature at 16:00 UK Time Wednesday the 8th April 2026.

PHILADELPHIA— The majority of genetic studies focus on people of European descent, which limits the understanding of how genes influence health in other populations. Researchers at the Perelman School ...
