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 ...

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia.

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.

Geneticists have found an interesting pattern in how early humans and Neanderthals interbred—and it wasn't balanced.

Age, biological sex, and human genetic factors influence the production of antibodies during the immune response. A team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS and the Collège de France ...
