What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, scientists believed that the heritability of human lifespan was relatively low ...

Building on these human genetic findings, insitro's CellML™ platform was used to screen genetically supported targets in primary human adipocytes using high-content imaging, transcriptomics, and ...

For many scientists, the first glimpse of a DNA sequence—those colored peaks marking A, T, C, and G—sparked a lifelong fascination with the code that shapes us all. That same spirit of discovery ...

Earlier studies have estimated that life span may be 15-33 per cent heritable across varied populations, with a typical range ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Many factors influence how long you live, such as diet, exercise, smoking, drinking, environment and other variables. It also helps not to get hit by a dump truck. But ...

The past decade has delivered landmark advances in human and medical genomics that shape how we understand disease mechanisms ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

New York City-based NYU Langone Health named Aravinda Chakravarti, PhD, director of its new Center for Human Genetics and Genomics, effective April 2. 1. Dr. Chakravarti formerly served as director of ...
