Your next favorite true crime podcast might have some new forensics jargon to make sense of. Researchers in Australia have developed a new way to identify humans – similar to how we do with DNA and ...

Genetic research is rapidly overturning the idea that each psychiatric diagnosis is a separate island. Large DNA studies now ...

A genetic variant is likely putting some children suffering with myocarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle—at higher risk of developing heart failure, which can be fatal, according to a study ...

Common genetic variants can prevent antibody therapies from binding their targets, reducing treatment effectiveness. The ...

Tiny repeated stretches of DNA in your genome may quietly shape how your body works, how your brain develops and how you respond to disease. A new study from scientists at The Hospital for Sick ...
