A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body's cells in space, according to a study ...

Scientists have created a new way to map how brain cells connect by assigning each neuron a unique molecular “barcode.” Using ...

University of Oregon researchers have developed an AI tool, based on modified GPT-2 architecture, that can reconstruct genetic ancestry in minutes by reading DNA mutation patterns. Matching the ...

How do our genes determine our appearance and our susceptibility to disease? This question is central to biomedical research, ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have carried out the most detailed mapping to date of the epigenome in the cells that regulate the body's blood sugar levels. The study, published in Nature ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...

David Botstein, a molecular biologist who changed the course of genetics by discovering a method for locating genes in human DNA — allowing researchers to find disease-causing genes and to map the ...

His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, sprawling human genome. By Gina Kolata David Botstein, a molecular biologist ...

Engineered proteins that can cross the blood–brain barrier represent a reliable and non-invasive way to map gene expression in the brains of large animals. Gene therapy has been successfully used to ...

When someone is diagnosed with depression and anxiety, it rarely surprises their clinician. When someone with schizophrenia has mood symptoms, it rarely surprises their family. Comorbidity has always ...
