Immune checkpoint inhibitors are generally most effective against tumors with more genetic mutations, according to a new study, although the relationship isn’t true for all cancers.

Changes in gene expression also hint at how the brains of people with ASD develop differently from those of other people.

Loxo focuses on cancer treatments based on tumor genetics, which will contribute to Lilly’s push in the cancer drug space.

Deep-learning algorithms could help doctors narrow in on the causes of certain medical conditions, say researchers.

A trial called BabySeq, in which researchers performed genomic sequencing on 159 newborns, identified children susceptible to diseases that regular screening doesn’t look for.

Urban environments are driving genetic changes in resident species through multiple mechanisms, from establishing gene flow barriers to exerting novel selection pressures.

Scientists are working to maximize the benefits and minimize the costs of sharing.

Using CRISPR and other tools, scientists are modifying DNA methylation, histone marks, and other modifiers of gene expression to understand how they affect health and disease.

Large-scale genomic studies of anorexia and bulimia are turning up clues about the conditions’ development and persistence.
