Scientists exploring seamounts off the coast of Costa Rica have discovered a new coral so genetically and morphologically distinct that it required the creation of an entirely new family for its classification.

O exoma não pode continuar sendo tratado como o teto da investigação genética, mas sim como um degrau inicial. Reanalisar dados antigos e migrar para o sequenciamento do genoma completo são atitudes que devolvem às famílias a esperança e o direito a uma resposta. Twist Bioscience

The brain's immune cells are increasingly recognized as key players in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly how they change as the disease develops has remained unclear. A new study published in Nature Genetics provides the most comprehensive map to date of these cells, identifying a

Recent findings provide one of the most detailed pictures to date of the genetic architecture of schizophrenia, opening up new avenues for research into the disorder.

When a wound does not heal properly, it leaves a scar. Similarly, mutations—which are permanent changes to genetic code—are often the result of damaged DNA that has not been properly repaired. Mutations can impede the function of genes and lead to disease and aging, but they are

There are people around us who can maintain their weight despite what they eat. This has led scientists to believe that a person's metabolism and tendency toward obesity may have genetic factors behind them. A large study sequencing the genomes of more than 1 million people acros

Novos vírus tiveram o código genético gerado pelos algoritmos Evo-1 e Evo-2, da Universidade Stanford; eles matam bactérias e podem ajudar a combater infecções resistentes a antibióticos, mas nova tecnologia também levanta receio de vazamentos e uso em ações de bioterrorismo

Researchers have identified genetic changes in malaria parasites that may reduce the effectiveness of key antimalarial medicines, highlighting the need for continued surveillance.

Very high levels of the inherited cholesterol-related particle Lp(a) were linked to a greater risk of major cardiovascular events, particularly stroke and cardiovascular death, in a study of more than 20,000 people. Since elevated Lp(a) often flies completely under the radar, a s

Verheij syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by the impairment of splicing, a critical process in RNA processing. Using the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Aging have demonstrated that this disruption affects met

Decades of selective breeding and intensive agricultural practices have reshaped cattle genetics—often at the expense of valuable diversity preserved in traditional herds—according to new research from Aberystwyth University.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by eosinophilia, an abnormal increase in eosinophils—a type of white blood cell—and inflammation of small blood vessels across multiple organs, which can lead to organ damage. Th
