Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

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 ...

Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health. When a single gene is the culprit ...

David Rand, a professor of natural history at Brown University, explains how studying mitochondria — the cell's energy producers — offers a useful way to understand complex gene-by-gene or ...

“Some genetic diseases are relatively simple, with an essentially one-to-one relationship between the presence of a genetic variant — or a change in a person’s DNA that differs across people — and the ...

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In an extraordinary achievement of advanced multiplexed genome engineering, Colossal Biosciences announces the birth of the Colossal Woolly Mouse—mice engineered to express ...

A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers from the United States of America conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on personality traits to identify ...
