A comparison of dog and wolf DNA reveals interesting genetics behind domestication. The new study is a step toward a deeper understanding of evolution for dogs and humans alike.

Advances and public interest in genetic testing have surged, leading to increased demand for genetic counselors. Learn how U-M’s robust training program reviews applicants.

A new study indicates a benefit for all young colon cancer patients to have genetic testing. But with more than half exhibiting no family history, will insurers cover the tests?

Using a real-world outbreak as a test case, a team combined patient transfer data and whole-genome sequencing to identify hot spots for antibiotic-resistant bacteria transmission.

Campuswide genetic science programs are helping researchers pinpoint new ways to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes and more.

A study of DNA from prehistoric German dogs yielded new clues about how dogs became domesticated from wolves. The same techniques can teach us about our own ancient origins — and diseases that affect both species.
