A new study provides evidence that river water eroding layers of metamorphic rock is a driver of freshwater fish biodiversity in the Appalachian Mountains.

The expanded genetic reference, created by a research team that includes Yale scientists, will inform medical advances that benefit all ancestry groups. When it was launched in April 2003, the Human Genome Project helped revolutionize biomedical research by providing scientists a reference map that allowed them to analyze DNA sequences for genetic clues to the origins of a host of diseases.

Grambank, a database of 2,467 languages that Yale linguist Claire Bowern helped create, helps researchers better understand the stakes when languages die off.

The loss of about 10,000 bits of DNA over the course of our evolutionary history helped differentiate us from other mammals, a team of Yale researchers found.

Around 40% of colorectal cancer patients have a particular gene mutation. A new study shows it's linked to reduced cell death and worse survival rates in men. Colorectal tumors found in men with a certain genetic mutation display different metabolism than those found in other patients, according to a new Yale study.

Omicron subvariants of SARS-CoV-2 - the virus behind COVID-19 - have shown an uncanny knack for evading antibodies produced either by vaccines or exposure to earlier versions of the virus, leading to many breakthrough infections.

A new Yale-led clinical trial found that the JAK inhibitor ritlecitinib may be safe for treating adolescents with the skin disease alopecia areata.

Around 30% of the global burden of disease is treatable with surgery. But surgeon-scientists receive very little research funding, a new study finds.

In a new study, Yale scientists have identified the immune signature of rare cases of myocarditis among those vaccinated against COVID-19 with mRNA vaccines. When new COVID-19 vaccines were first administered two years ago, public health officials found an increase in cases of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, particularly among young males who had been vaccinated with mRNA vaccines.

The loss of about 10,000 bits of DNA over the course of our evolutionary history helped differentiate us from other mammals, a team of Yale researchers found.

Yale researchers, colleagues say pandemic rise in proportion of Black prisoners highlights racial disparities in sentencing. The U.S. prison population plummeted during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic but the percentage of incarcerated Black people rose, according to a new analysis of prison data published April 19 in the journal Nature.

A Yale-led clinical trial found that the medicine ritlecitinib appears safe and promising for treating adolescents with a form of often-disfiguring hair loss.

Yale researchers found mpox vaccine distribution was in proportion to cases at the peak of the outbreak, but Black and Hispanic populations had less access. In August 2022, U.S. health officials declared mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) a public health emergency.
