While we inherit genes from both parents, certain traits are more strongly influenced by paternal genetics. From the way you look to aspects of your health, your father’s DNA plays a major role ...

Researchers developed an algorithm that maps human genetic diversity and ancestry to better understand population history.

As genetics allows us to turn the tide on human disease, it's also granting the power to engineer desirable traits into humans. What limits should we create as this technology develops? The ...

Genetic variation among human races can be observed in almost any trait, from the physical and biochemical, to disease resistance. What role do single nucleotide polymorphisms play in this?

Visualizing a cell after editing a specific gene can reveal insights into the gene's function. This, in turn, allows scientists to link genes to known disease-associated pathways, which can reveal ...
