Scientists narrow down pool of potential height genes

When it comes to height, our fate is sealed along with our growth plates—cartilage near the ends of bones that hardens as a child develops. Research published April 14 in the journal Cell Genomics shows that cells in these ...

Childhood diarrhea has genetic links, study finds

Susceptibility to diarrhea, a major cause of infant deaths in low- and middle-income countries, has genetic links which could hold the key to new treatments, research suggests.

Large-scale study enables new insights into rare eye disorders

Researchers have analyzed image and genomic data from the UK Biobank to find insights into rare diseases of the human eye. These include retinal dystrophies—a group of inherited disorders affecting the retina—which are also ...

A human interactome to prioritize drug discovery

Scientists at Open Targets, EMBL's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and GSK are revealing the shared basis of diseases using a map of interacting human proteins. By helping to understand how biological processes ...
