The term "God complex" is sometimes used to describe a person who believes they are exceptional and superior to others. It is an expression and not a formal diagnosis, but some traits are similar to ...

Xiaofeng Zhu, professor in the Department of Population and Quantitative Health Sciences at the School of Medicine, has led research to screen for interactions across the genome. The team has ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying gene combinations underlying complex illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

Predicting observable traits from genetic variation remains difficult due to the complex interplay of multiple genes and environmental influences. Widely used statistical approaches are limited in ...

Northwestern University biophysicists have developed a new computational tool for identifying the gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma. Unlike single-gene ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have found evidence that people who fall at the extreme high or low ends of certain traits, such as cholesterol, blood glucose, height, and ...

Extreme values for cholesterol, glucose, and height are driven by rare, high-impact genetic variants rather than polygenic ...
