Researchers headed by a team at the University of California, Irvine, Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have built what they suggest is the first cell type-specific gene regulatory ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...
