This post is a review of The Social Genome: The New Science Of Nature and Nurture. By Dalton Conley. W.W. Norton & Company. 292 pp. $29.99. A breakthrough in socio-genomics, the polygenic index (PGI) ...
Most genes are ancient and shared across species. But a small subset of genes are relative newcomers, spontaneously emerging from stretches of DNA that once encoded nothing at all. Now, after nearly a ...
No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this process possible. Among the discoveries is PEDS1, a gene now linked to a ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...
De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...
In earlier work, an MIT researcher who was not involved in this study had switched off each gene in that cell line, one at a time, and tracked how losing that gene changed genetic activity. Marson's ...
CDKL5, one of the five members of the CDKL family of genes, is important for proper neurodevelopment and associated with seizures. However, the role the other four members of this family play in ...
Near the end of the classic 1942 movie Casablanca when Major Strasser is shot, Captain Renault famously pretends not to know who fired the gun and orders his officers to “round up the usual suspects.” ...
