SYDNEY, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- A landmark study has used whole-genome sequencing to measure how strongly genes shape traits like height, weight, and risk of diseases such as Type 2 diabetes.

Using full genome sequencing data from more than 347,000 individuals, researchers quantified how much genetic differences explain human traits such as height, body mass index, fertility, and disease ...
