Many factors influence how long you live, such as diet, exercise, smoking, drinking, environment and other variables. It also ...

Scientists at Google DeepMind —the company’s artificial intelligence research arm—say they’ve created an A.I. tool that can ...

What determines how long we live—and to what extent is our lifespan shaped by our genes? Surprisingly, for decades, ...

A person’s genes play a far greater role in likely lifespan than previously thought, according to a major new study published Thursday in the journal Science ...

How big of a role do our genes play in our lifespan? Quite a bit more than previously thought, a new study suggests.

Although some genes linked to life span have been identified, external environmental forces, such as disease or living ...

Researchers identified the earliest case of a genetic disease with the help of DNA: ...

The past decade has delivered landmark advances in human and medical genomics that shape how we understand disease mechanisms ...

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 ...

Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

Euan Ashley's lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny "typos," or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health ...

For many scientists, the first glimpse of a DNA sequence—those colored peaks marking A, T, C, and G—sparked a lifelong fascination with the code that shapes us all. That same spirit of discovery ...
