Project MinE, an international consortium co-founded by researchers at King's College London, has identified new genetic ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

A new study by UCLA Health published in Cell presents a major advancement in the future of personalized medicine by pinpointing new connections between people's genes, disease risk and medicine ...

In A Nutshell Key autism genes identified primarily in people of European descent showed up at comparable rates in more than ...

Two complementary genome-wide association studies provide new insights into how host genetics influence the human gut ...

It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique. The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was ...

New research establishes an identifiable genetic component to motor neuron disease for 1 in 4 people with the disease; a ...

Asperger’s, now referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), involves a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Asperger’s was once considered a distinct condition but is no longer ...
