Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

It’s not just a mood—it’s in your blood. New research shows that your DNA determines whether you feel that "telltale tingle" ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Genetic variation may explain why some children exposed to diabetes in utero become obese and others don't by CU Anschutz Medical Campus edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Alexander Pol Editors' ...

Cucumber is an economically important crop worldwide, ranking as the third most-produced vegetable after tomatoes and onions.

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Research into genetic variation and wool traits in sheep and goats has revealed critical insights into the structural composition and quality of animal fibres. Studies have focused on ...

Plants can carry long-lasting genetic damage from past population crashes, leaving them more vulnerable to future environmental change.
