In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Your smile is likely one of the first things a person notices about you. Now, experts have found that the shape of our teeth may have been influenced by Neanderthals.

Humans inherited genetic material from Neanderthals that affects the shape of our noses, finds a new study.

Researchers identified rare variants of a gene involved in controlling the shape of cells and found them to be 2.7 times more common in left-handed people.

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth—including a gene inherited from Neanderthals—have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers.

These findings help explain the diversity of human head shapes and may also offer important clues about the genetic basis of conditions that affect the skull, such as craniosynostosis.

The genetic architecture of common diseases is central to the scientific and clinical goals of human genetics because it directly impacts biology, disease screening, diagnosis, prognosis and ...

A research team has identified genetic factors that influence the shape of subcortical brain regions—far beyond volume measurements. The results could open up new approaches for the early ...

A new multi-national study has revealed that the shape of the heart is influenced in part by genetics and may help predict the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The first crystal structure of an alternative DNA shape from the insulin gene has been revealed by a UCL-led research team.
