Genetics

The researchers have identified genes involved in hybrid incompatibility, a phenomenon that raises reproductive barriers between species and evolutionarily splits them apart.

Stanford Medicine scientists describe details of the human intestine and placental tissue as part of the National Institute of Health’s Human Biomolecular Atlas Program.

New approach to genetic ancestry developed by Stanford researchers provides estimates of the number of African and European genealogical ancestors in typical family trees.

Intent on recording the complete journeys of proteins through different areas of cells – or between separate cells – researchers led by Stanford’s Alice Ting have devised a new tag

A geneticist explains why he collects vast stores of his own biodata and what all that information might reveal about our personal health.

Finding by Stanford researchers supports the concept of progressive evolution in nature

People with mild to moderate COVID-19 can shed viral RNA in their feces months after initial infection, Stanford researchers find

Stanford scientists set the first Guinness World Record for the fastest DNA sequencing technique, which was used to sequence a human genome in just 5 hours and 2 minutes

Gill Bejerano and colleagues have devised advanced cryptographic techniques to search for matches while maintaining the genetic privacy of the suspect

CEHG co-director Noah Rosenberg explains why biology, a field once thought relatively removed from mathematics, is quickly becoming a hotbed of computational science

A new look at 14,000 genetic changes since our most recent ancestors shows that differences in gene activation– not just genetic code– may underlie evolution of the brain and voice

Hank Greely clarifies the implications of the new biomedical technologies after the first CRISPR babies in 2018

Congratulations to the new Program for Conservation Genomics (PCG), directed by Dmitri Petrov and hosted by Stanford CEHG, for the pre-print release of their research on "Empowerin

Genetic data suggest there was a collapse in male, but not female, genetic diversity starting 7,000 years ago. The reason may be wars between clans structured around male ancestry.
