The genomic regions regulating gene expression are often themselves transcribed into a variety of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs). However, the regulatory roles of this noncoding transcription remain largely unknown. By using live imaging, we reveal that the ...

Researchers surveyed U.S. fertility specialists to understand their views on polygenic embryo screening, a technology that estimates an embryo's future risk of certain diseases. The study found widesp...

Polygenic embryo screening (PES) examines embryos for their genetic likelihood of developing complex conditions and traits. The commercialization of PES places reproductive endocrinologists and infert...

Nature Human Behaviour - Polygenic risk scores are not genetic predispositions

Abstract Objective. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to summarize evidence from all RCTs to-date on the efficacy of polygenic risk score (PRS) communication in changing healt...

Furrer et al. conducted a US-based survey on the perception of neurotechnologies for treating mood, memory, and motor symptoms. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) was seen as the most invasive and risky, le...

Researchers have found that adding nuance to the way we represent voting results on election night could help combat polarization and voter apathy.

In the United States the color red has come to represent the Republican party, and blue the Democratic party, in maps of voting patterns. Here we test the hypothesis that voting maps dichotomized into...
