We’ve always known that getting enough sleep is important and can have a significant impact on one’s health, but scientists have just begun to unravel the genetics behind why some...

In the largest genetic study of its kind, scientists have identified more than 200 genes associated with depression that could give new insights to researchers looking for treatments to what...

In the largest genome-wide association study of its kind, researchers have identified 35 genes associated with cannabis use, and found overlapping genetic associations with risk-taking behavior and a risk for schizophrenia.

A new study that used data from the UK Biobank found more than a dozen new genetic variants associated with depression. Researchers identified almost 17 genetic variants associated with depression, and the findings were then replicated using data from more than 300,000 23andMe customers who consented to participate in research.

Recent success in genetic research into personality has opened up the hunt for more genetic signals associated with psychological and behavioral traits.

A team of researchers found more than 60 genetic variants associated with resting heart rate, a known predictor of overall mortality.Scientists from the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands...
