Three current Yale students and three recent graduates have received Soros fellowships, which support graduate study for immigrants or children of immigrants.

An international team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine with the National Institutes of Health Extracellular RNA Communication Consortium and the Bogdan Mateescu laboratory at the ETH Zürich and University of Zürich has developed a new powerful resource to study extracellular RNA (exRNA), a novel form of cell-to-cell communication.

Each person has about 4 million sequence differences in their genome relative to the reference human genome.

Yale School of Medicine has led a large NIH-sponsored study where multiple institutions and international collaborators came together to address the impact of

Modification on a high-resolution fluorescent microscopy technique allow researchers to track the precise movements of motor proteins. 

Commercial DNA tests often provide inconsistent results. Here are six questions to ask yourself before you pay for one.

Brain changes associated with ASD encompass more areas than previously believed, a new study reports. Researchers identified brain-wide changes in all 11 cortical regions analyzed. The greatest gene drop-offs were found in the visual cortex and the parietal cortex, a brain area associated with processing touch, pain, and temperature information. The findings shed light on sensory hypersensitivity associated with ASD. Additionally, researchers say the RNA alterations associated with ASD are more ...

Patients will be asked if their genetic sequence can be added to a database — shared with a pharmaceutical company — in a quest to cure a multitude of diseases.

The catalog could help researchers understand the effects of autism-linked DNA variants that fall outside genes.

Yale researchers have found a new use for the digital security technology: they’ve leveraged it to give individuals control of their own genomes.
