Genes can influence diseases and it can be transmitted from one generation to another.
Interpreting the results of genetic testing can be complex; genetic counsellors can help you understand the exact impact of the disease on your body.
It is not about willpower but genes, which control your eating behaviour. Read on to know all about the 'fat genes' that determine your eating habits.
It is commonly believed that oral health depends on the choices you make. But a new study reveals a crucial link between genes and oral health. Read on.
Shedding new light on why some people develop cancer while others do not, a new study has found that a person's risk of developing cancer is affected by genetic variations in regions of DNA that do not code for proteins, previously dismissed as "junk DNA".
For the first time, researchers have identified nine genes responsible for eyebrow colours. Read on to know more about this.
"Genes matter when it comes to the quality of marriage, because genes are relevant to who we are as individuals, and characteristics of the individual can impact the marriage."
Researchers have discovered two genes that make some strains of harmful bacteria resistant to treatment by copper, which is a powerful and frequently used antibacterial agent, says a new study.
Researchers, including one of an Indian-origin, have identified 20 genes that can predict an individual's likelihood of developing a severe form of dengue fever with about 80 per cent accuracy.
It's not only healthy food and exercise, but skinny genes that hold the key 'to staying slim', say researchers who found that slim people have a genetic advantage when it comes to maintaining their weight.
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications has revealed that your uncle's genes can probably decide your longevity and not just parents.
Scientists have identified over 6,000 antibiotic resistance genes found in bacteria that inhabit the human gut.
Researchers have found new evidence of advanced DNA regulation in an ancient marine organism that shows crucial mechanisms turning genes on and off may have originated much earlier than thought, a discovery that points to a better understanding of genetic processes and disease treatment.
A new study has revealed that parents tend to adopt feeding styles in response to their children's natural body weight, which is largely genetically influenced.
According to researchers, whether you are a tea or coffee person depends on your genetic predisposition towards bitter tastes.
The findings showed that people who were more sensitive to caffeine and were drinking a lot of coffee consumed low amounts of tea.
Researchers have discovered a gene mutation which slows the metabolism of sugar in your gut, by giving people who have that mutation a distinct advantage over those who don't. If you have the mutation then you will have a lower risk of diabetes, obesity, heart failure, and even death. Surprised right? Read on to know more.

World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10. Scientific research studies say that there are greater chances of you suffering from depression if the condition runs in your family. Genes could be one of the factors responsible for depression.
In case you think that the trauma lurks only mentally and superficially among child abuse victims, you are widely mistaken. Recent study shows how this trauma leaves behind impression on body cells of the victims.
