Although mental disorders have multifactorial causes, genetics can explain some of them, yet this field remains largely unexplored in terms of guiding diagnoses and treatments. In the largest study of ...

Scientists have discovered a potential path out of devastating genetic bottlenecks that could help these Australian animals, ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Around a decade ago, koalas nearly vanished from southeastern Australia due to the fur trade. In the 1920s, as few as 500 individuals remained in the state of Victoria. Conservationists kicked off a ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like depression and anxiety often occur together.
