Matt Might, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Medicine and director of the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute (PMI), has been selected to deliver a distinguished lecture at the American ...

Investigating context-specific genetic associations can lead to deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying human traits. With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature ...

The eagerly anticipated annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) is now in progress. Part of the buildup for the event was an announcement, issued by the ASHG in August, about ...

Our parents' genes, even the ones we didn't inherit, leave a measurable lasting imprint on our lives. An international team ...

Scientists have generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world to address how most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries -- ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

A central goal of human genetics is to learn how genetic variants impact the cellular and molecular phenotypes that underpin human diseases. Genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) are commonly ...
