A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Understanding how genes interact to influence complex traits, such as Body Mass Index or total cholesterol levels, in humans is important for basic biology and precision medicine. Such interactions ...

Scientists say a tiny group of people can thrive on very little sleep - not because they're pushing through exhaustion, but because of a rare genetic makeup. These natural short sleepers tend to share ...

The walnut crop in my neighbourhood is heavier than usual. The neighbour across the street has a huge walnut tree in his front yard, shading a portion of the road, and their curb is covered with ...

Nearly 40% of NDLVC patients showed significant disease progression over long-term follow-up, highlighting the condition's clinical relevance and need for further study. Key predictors of adverse ...

Genes decide more than eye colour. Some health traits trace strongly back to the mother’s side. This happens because of how eggs are formed, how DNA is packaged, and how early life begins in the womb.

There are rare blood types beyond the eight most common ones, and researchers have discovered one more that brings the total count to 49. Blood type A(B) is caused by a four gene mutations and was ...

What’s behind the study: Dementia cases are rising worldwide, and with no cure available, researchers are looking closely at everyday lifestyle factors—like diet—that might lower risk. Dairy foods ...
