For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...

General introduction to the estimation of genetic risks -- Mendelian risk -- Risk modified by reproductive history -- Risk based upon phenotype -- Risk based upon genotype -- Familial versus new ...

There's a glaring gap in our knowledge of cell metabolism: in many cases, we still don't know exactly how nutrients are transported into the cell. Without that understanding, it's extremely difficult, ...
