Sometimes I feel like I am an alien in my own world. True confession: I am left-handed. I am so left-handed that I cannot do anything with my right hand.

A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with identifiable symptom clusters and lifetime trajectories. Researchers then linked each group to specific biological ...

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 ...

“Some genetic diseases are relatively simple, with an essentially one-to-one relationship between the presence of a genetic variant — or a change in a person’s DNA that differs across people — and the ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers from the United States of America conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on personality traits to identify ...

DNA plays a role, but that's not the whole story Reviewed by David Susman, PhD Personality traits are influenced by both ...
