Scientists say that 55 percent of differences in human lifespan are due to genetic makeup, much more than previously believed ...

Weizmann Institute study finds genetics may account for about 50 percent of human lifespan, more than double previous estimates.

Officially unveiled at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2025 meeting held in Boston, Genomics has launched Mystra, an AI-enabled human genetics platform designed to accelerate drug target ...

Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. They have become a valuable tool for studying human development, organ regeneration, function, and disease progression.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology suggests that a genetic preference for immediate rewards is linked to less education and earlier parenthood. This provides evidence ...

An analysis of ancient and modern DNA suggests the extent of convergent evolution in different peoples around the world is ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

For the first time, the tools to rewrite human biology are moving from speculative fiction into regulated clinics and consumer-facing startups. Gene editing, once confined to rare diseases and lab ...

The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...
