The birds only live on one island and are all very closely-related.

Deciphering the biological pathways behind rare genetic diseases often involves assembling a team of specialists to work closely with the family members of those affected.

Advances in technology have enabled researchers to sequence the large regions of repetitive DNA that eluded the Human Genome Project.

Scientists are just beginning to decode the genetic messages in your food – and how that may affect your health.

How we’re linking together genetic material from thousands of people - modern and ancient - to trace our ancestors and the history of our evolution.

DNA and mRNA vaccines produce a different kind of immune response than traditional vaccines, allowing researchers to tackle some previously unsolvable problems in medicine.

Our findings also have potential implications for the identification and treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

Many centenarians haven’t lived healthy lives, so are they genetically different?

Mangroves grow in saltwater along tropical coastlines, but scientists have found them along a river in Mexico’s Yucatan, more than 100 miles from the sea. Climate change explains their shift.

Using a technique called admixture mapping, researchers can leverage the diversity of people with mixed ancestry to look for hard-to-find genetic risk factors for diseases like Alzheimer's disease.
