Researchers have identified 27 genes in brain stem cells that are prone to double strand breaks, a form of DNA damage.
A new study reports on the long term impact of parental stress on the health of their offspring and future generations.
Researchers report humans have a surprisingly high number of genes in which one of two copies has been randomly silenced.
Researchers have identified 133 genetic variants associated with an increased risk of developing glaucoma.
Study identifies new patterns of gene expression that drives long-term memory formation.
Neanderthal DNA sequences still have influence when it comes to how genes are turned on or off in modern humans, a new study reports.
A new study expands and deepens the biological and genetic links between cardiovascular disease and schizophrenia. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of premature death among schizophrenia patients, who die from heart and blood vessel disorders at a rate double that of persons without the mental disorder.
According to researchers, children with ASD have more harmful mitochondrial mutations than their family members.
Researchers report on a possible link between long term cognitive health and protection from some chronic diseases.
A new study appears to build on the previous research that suggests genetic mutations which affect mitochondria function could be critical to the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease.
A new study reports DNA repair genes may determine when the neurological symptoms of Huntington's disease begin.
Our moods, sleeping patterns, smoking status and how easily we tan may be traced back to our Neanderthal DNA, Max Planck Institute researchers report.
