Understanding the genetic diversity within and between populations has important implications for studies of human disease and evolution.

Scientists searching for the genomics version of the holy grail – more insight into predicting how an animal's genes affect physical or behavioral traits – now have a reference manual that should speed gene discoveries in everything from pest control to personalized medicine.

Scientists now boast that they can predict who will live to be 100 with astounding accuracy using on a complex review of genetic markers for healthy aging.

Scientists have released a study suggesting that uncommon genetic deletions are associated with short stature.

Salk scientists discover 'hidden' code in DNA evolves more rapidly than genetic code.
