Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

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 ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

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 ...

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by repetitive head impacts (RHI). However, individuals with similar RHI exposure have shown differing pathology, suggesting ...

Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of California have created a novel data structure and compression method that allows ...

Scientists have cracked open some of the most mysterious corners of our DNA, revealing that parts of the human genome mutate at a far faster pace than previously imagined. By studying four generations ...
