Nature and nurture both determine how likely you are to develop a particular disease. Hiroshi Watanabe/DigitalVision via Getty Images Sitting in my doctor’s examination room, I was surprised when she ...
De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...
Most genes are ancient and shared across species. But a small subset of genes are relative newcomers, spontaneously emerging from stretches of DNA that once encoded nothing at all. Subscribe to our ...

Epigenetic therapies are offering a more targeted way to treat some lymphomas by changing how genes are turned on or off ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this ...
The same pathogen can often elicit very different responses from different people. Scientists sought to understand more about what causes these individual differences. They found that both our genomes ...
Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease but the roles these genes play in the brain are poorly understood. This lack of understanding ...
While lifestyle choices, including diet and activity level, play an important role in a person’s risk of obesity, genetics can also shape natural tendencies toward weight gain or loss. In fact, genes ...
