The research, published in Science, argues that the true genetic contribution to the variation in human lifespan has been masked. A genetic contribution of 55% aligns far more closely with what has ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...
