Analyzing stochastic cell-to-cell variability can potentially reveal causal interactions in gene regulatory networks.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder marked by amyloid plaque buildup and cognitive decline, remains a challenging condition to understand at the molecular level. While substantial ...

Despite rapid advances in reading the genetic code of living organisms, scientists still face a major challenge today—knowing a gene's sequence does not automatically reveal what it does. Even in ...

Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of developing a type of alopecia. Scientists have discovered an interaction between genes that increases the risk of ...

Scientists have identified novel genetic interactions that may contribute to congenital heart disease (CHD), a common birth defect. Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Alopecia refers to hair loss and can affect the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and other areas of the body. There are different types of alopecia including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, anagen ...

Understanding how genes interact to influence complex traits, such as Body Mass Index or total cholesterol levels, in humans is important for basic biology and precision medicine. Such interactions ...

Our bodies follow a natural 24-hour cycle known as the circadian rhythm that influences everything from sleep to metabolism. While scientists have long known that certain core circadian clock genes ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...
