Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

Scientists at Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two harmful variants of the same gene always worsens disease. Instead, the ...

Despite the development of cutting-edge genetic testing techniques and considerable progress in our understanding of the genetic basis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), missing heritability and ...

Scientists are warning of a "summer wave" of COVID-19 cases after a new group of Omicron subvariants was detected circulating in the U.S. The new strains have been nicknamed "FLiRT" because of the ...

Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

Covid-19 levels are about the lowest they’ve ever been in the United States, but another new crop of virus variants once again threatens to disrupt the downward trend as the country heads into summer.
