Alex Marson of Gladstone and his collaborators at Stanford University developed a genomic mapping technique that helps close ...

Bored Panda has curated a list of people with rare physical traits that might make you do a double take. From extra or ...

What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

Baylor Genetics, a joint venture clinical diagnostic laboratory at the forefront of genetic testing, and the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine have entered a lab ...
