An international team of researchers reached a major milestone in decoding the human genome by linking genes across all chromosomes of many individual people to specific tissues and disease processes.

Genetic studies have revealed many genes linked to both common and rare disease, but to understand how those genes bring about disease and use those insights to help develop therapies, scientists need ...

The scope of human cell type atlases widened considerably today. Formerly, landscapes of individual cell types were largely confined to single organs. But now, thanks to four single-cell RNA ...
