UK Biobank is a major biomedical database and research resource, holding the genetic, health, and lifestyle information of half a million adult volunteers. Its datasets are accessible to approved ...

Live Science spoke with a bioethicist and sociologist about emerging genomic technologies, including those that enable parents to "score" and "select" IVF embryos.

Daphne O. Martschenko and Sam Trejo both want to make the world a better, fairer, more equitable place. But they disagree on whether studying social genomics—elucidating any potential genetic ...

Companies now offer polygenic embryo selection to prospective parents undergoing IVF. But the technology is dangerously underregulated. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Genetics is rarely as simple as introductory biology classes make it seem. Only some biological traits, such as blood groups or dry ear wax, are linked to a single gene and passed on in the ...

A new study links telomere length and polygenic risk scores to IPF development, highlighting genetic drivers beyond rare variants. The role of polygenic risk scores in patients with idiopathic ...

Prospective parents can already have their IVF embryos tested for inherited conditions. But these tests often relate to a single gene, such as for cystic fibrosis. Prospective parents are being ...

As genetic tests promising to forecast a child's future traits gain traction, prospective parents are left navigating a sea of risks and uncertainties. These tests, particularly prevalent in the ...
