Common genetic variants associated with the disorder have been identified12,13, but the role of rare variants in ADHD is mostly unknown. Here, by analysing rare coding variants in exome-sequencing data from 8,895 individuals with ADHD and 53,780 control individuals, we identify three genes (MAP1A, ANO8 and ANK2; P < 3.07 × 10−6; odds ratios 5.55–15.13) that are implicated in ADHD.

How evolution builds genes from scratch

Scientists long assumed that new genes appear when evolution tinkers with old ones. It turns out that natural selection is much more creative.

Do you drink coffee? Ask your gut

One particular gut microbe is quite the coffee fiend. Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus was up to eight times more abundant in coffee drinkers than in non-drinkers. In a culture dish, the bacteria grew faster when fed coffee of any kind — brewed or instant, caffeinated or decaffeinated — than when fed no coffee.
