Until recently, our understanding of the genetic causes for human diseases were largely limited to the study of extreme phenotypes produced by Mendelian disorders. Advances in genomic technologies and ...

Scientists are taking note of the lack of diversity in genetics; often, genetic information from people only of European descent has been used for research studies. In recent years, investigators have ...

The UK's 100,000 Genomes Project has now given hundreds of people a diagnosis for their disease. Many of them have been waiting years to know more about what was causing their rare disorder, and this ...

Twenty years ago, the Human Genome Project officially wrapped up. It was a feat of collaborative science that took 13 years—from 1990 to 2003—and involved researchers from around the globe. In honor ...
