Dianne Newbury speaks to Kat Arney of the Naked Scientists about specific language impairment (SLI) for the monthly Naked Genetics podcast
An international consortium led by researchers at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics and their colleagues at the Stanford University School of Medicine in California have made a detailed analysis of a form of genetic variation called short ...
WTCHG Director Peter Donnelly gave an interview to the Health Report programme on Australian public radio, describing recent results from genome-wide association studies and other research.
Chimps and humans share ancestral DNA variants that may protect against disease A team including Gil McVean, Oliver Venn and Peter Donnelly of the WTCHG has identified multiple genetic variants common to humans and their closest living relative, ...
Professor Dave Stuart of the Structural Biology division at WTCHG has announced plans for high-level containment facilities at Diamond, the light source near Oxford, so that it can become a world centre for the study of bacteria and viruses. He was speaking at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston, US.
The CARDIoGRAMplusCD4 Consortium, which includes Professor Hugh Watkins, Professor Martin Farrall and Professor Mark McCarthy of WTCHG, has found 15 new risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in the largest-ever genetic study of the impact of common variations on CAD risk.
Professor Barbara Casadei of the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and the WTCHG has been named a British Heart Foundation Professor, one of only 30 in the country and the only woman. The award is made to ‘individuals with outstanding ...
Peter Donnelly talks to the BBC World Service's Science in Action programme about a recent study on leishmaniasis.
A new study finds that common variants in a region of the human genome that is critical to defence against infection leave people vulnerable to the most severe form of leishmaniasis, a potentially fatal parasitic disease. The Wellcome Trust Case ...
Whole genome sequencing has brought to light two previously unknown genetic mutations strongly associated with colorectal cancer, in a study led by Professor Ian Tomlinson of the WTCHG. The discoveries offer families with a predisposition to the ...
