A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, from mouse embryos to the roundworm C. elegans to 31 human tissues. These ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

His method of locating genes in human DNA allowed researchers to find disease-causing genes, and later to map the entire, ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...
