A new study, published in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights into the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint for ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it presents differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small changes in gene sequences have been linked to an ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ancestry, according to a study published in Nature Communications. Researchers ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

NASA scientists and academic colleagues are studying tiny hairs inside microorganisms to find clues about kidney disease. “To accomplish the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA has to ensure astronauts ...

* Studies map entire genomes of two deadly cancers * Scientists say maps will transform work on fighting cancer * Work beginning now to map at least 50 more cancer genomes * Challenge to find key ...

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are cellular factories that churn out blood and immune cells, but their production output varies significantly. This variation influences the success of bone marrow ...

The authors of the study pictured in the facilities housing MareNostrum5, the supercomputer which was critical for processing the vast amounts of data generated by the study. Human gene maps contain ...
