Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only ...

With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell ...

During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a "second brain"—the ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists have discovered that a variant in one gene, GRIN2A, can directly cause mental illness – ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...

GRIN2A gene mutations emerge as single-gene cause of childhood schizophrenia, anxiety, and mood disorders, potentially ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

After more than 50 years of research, scientists still don't know exactly what causes autism. But the data make clear that ...
