Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like depression and anxiety often occur together.

In what might be a surprise for some, the male sex chromosome is far more complex than its female counterpart. This is why it’s taken scientists so long to work out exactly what makes a male a male.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Researchers identified three chromosome 21 genes that are overactive in brain cells of individuals with Down syndrome, and demonstrated partial molecular correction using antisense oligonucleotides.

Chromosomes are masters of organization. These long strings of DNA fold down into an ensemble of compact structures that keep needed parts of the genome accessible while tucking away those that aren't ...

Two decades after the human genome sequence was completed, researchers have finally finished a map of the piece that makes males distinct. The Y chromosome is what distinguishes biological males from ...

A new Alzheimer's study has produced a first-of-its-kind genetic map, which could provide vital insights into the cause-and-effect sequences of gene activity that may be driving the disease in the ...

The Y chromosome is perhaps the most puzzling part of the human genome. Associated with male development, it is chock-full of repetitive and inverted stretches of DNA, a hurdle that makes it ...
