The new research reinforces how complex the neurodevelopmental disorder is and that there isn’t a single cause.

Doctors can order genetic tests for people at high risk of breast cancer, and insurance often covers those, Kamal says. For people without a clear genetic risk or who don't know their family health ...

From cancer biology to proactive health management, customized care is changing patient outcomes, but what are the costs and accessibility challenges?

US scientists have, for the first time, made early-stage human embryos by manipulating DNA taken from people's skin cells and then fertilising it with sperm. The technique could overcome infertility ...

With a clearer picture of which genes are most involved in root development, plant breeders can target traits like yield, nutrient density, and stress tolerance.

Scientists analyze 4.3 billion dipeptides across species to trace genetic code evolution and early protein development.

Abstract: This paper proposes a genetic optimization method for the construction of non-binary quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (NB-QC-LDPC) codes with short block lengths. In our scheme, the ...
