A large-scale genetic analysis has identified 36 genes carrying rare mutations that substantially increase the likelihood of developing obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic tic disorders, or both.

Evolution is hard to model mathematically, but a new study may have found a way to do just that with some inspiration from an ...

Behavioural genetics is the interdisciplinary effort to establish causal links between genes and animal (including human) behavioural traits and neural mechanisms. Methods used include twin studies, ...

A missense mutation in the sheep MC4R gene, enriched in year-round estrus breeds, boosted receptor signaling and ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

A massive genetic study offers one of the clearest pictures yet of how DNA contributes to personality, identifying genetic variants associated with five major personality traits.

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

Scientists have developed an advanced computational tool that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins. The tool will help scientists understand how changes in our DNA affect ...

New findings shed light on what’s making the parasite less treatable using the drug that’s considered a first line of defense. The main drug that has been in use for decades to combat malaria in ...

Salicornia is a halophytic flowering plants in the family Amaranthaceae. Here, the authors report chromosome-scale genome assemblies for six Salicornia species and reveal subgenome diversity, species ...
