Hundreds of genes have been linked to autism, yet the precise molecular and cellular mechanisms behind it remain largely ...

Scientists have conducted the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. They found that most undiagnosed cases that are due to ...

A developmental timer that fires thousands of genes in precise, phase-locked bursts has been mapped in detail for the first ...

Developmental genetics in filamentous fungi investigates the inherited programmes and molecular circuits that direct hyphal growth, multicellular differentiation and the production of complex ...

A newly discovered genetic clock acts as the master timekeeper for development, orchestrating crucial bursts of gene activity ...

Craniofacial development is orchestrated by tightly regulated genetic programmes that govern the proliferation, differentiation and spatial patterning of osteogenic and mesenchymal cell populations in ...

Environmental factors like maternal smoking and lead exposure interact with genetic vulnerabilities, increasing the risk for ADHD in children.

An international study led by researchers at the University of Cambridge department of psychiatry has discovered that autism diagnosed during early childhood has a different genetic and developmental ...

A new study maps "genetic nurture," showing how parents' uninherited genes shape a child's height, BMI, and intelligence.

The paradigm of modern public health is shifting toward a multi-dimensional understanding of how environmental and genetic factors interact to shape human ...

Researchers assessed the role of recessive genetic variants in developmental disorders, suggesting reanalysis of genetic data could improve understanding and diagnosis of conditions for millions of ...
