Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

Several genetic variations were recovered in individuals during remission compared to those in active disease. Recovered features included reduction of plasma and cell cycle signatures and increase of ...

Researchers have conducted the most comprehensive analysis to date linking plasma proteins to genetic variation in ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

Recently, a unique kitten came through the doors of Marin Humane. In fact, little Luigi is 1 in 3,000. Those are the chances of a tortoiseshell feline being a male. This unusual coloring, known for ...

In a recent article published in JAMA Network Open, researchers investigated the role of genetics in the phenotypic association between screen time and psychiatric problems using a large ...

Birds have a dazzling display of patterns, from muted colors to vivid and striking hues. For a long time, scientists believed that the evolution of these traits was a slow process that took place when ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Invited Expert Review, researchers from the University of Haifa have synthesized cutting-edge findings on Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), revealing how this complex ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...
