Pharmacogenetics guides better psychiatric drug treatments.

In a journey that spanned the genomes of more than 150,000 Icelanders, archival samples, and a fetus in utero, researchers not only identified genetic variants missing from the population, but also proved that these missing mutations cause three rare genetic diseases.

What do 23andMe and Snapchat have in common? They both collect very personal information about their users. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?

Through many innovations over the past 40 years, ChIP rapidly evolved to become a powerful tool for understanding the epigenome.

Learn how scientists detect viral pathogens lurking in the environment to mitigate infectious disease threats. 

Researchers pioneered a new strategy for diagnosing puzzling genetic diseases, expanding scientists’ capability to study their causes and pathophysiology.

People metabolize drugs differently, changing the effectiveness and toxicity of drugs between individuals. Genetic testing to identify mutations in metabolic genes that may affect how someone processes a drug is an important step towards precision medicine that is becoming more common in the clinic.
