A four-species genome analysis identified 540 legume GST genes, characterized their expansion and regulatory sequences, and ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

A review in the Journal of Systematics and Evolution defines the standards for high-quality genome assembly and annotation, ...

Sequencing the human genome was once thought to be the key to understanding genetic diversity and disease, but gene ...

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. Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

Advances in genetic technologies have enabled researchers to find regions of the genome that are linked to disease, but it has sometimes been difficult to identify the exact changes within those ...

DNA is not randomly distributed within the nucleus but is packaged with proteins into chromatin, which is precisely folded ...

By combining genomic sequencing with data from half a million individuals, the research team identified hundreds of previously unknown genes that govern bone health and revealed cells surrounding ...

Learn about a new map of the human eye made using donated eyeballs that could help explain and possibly prevent a handful of sight-related diseases. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of ...

A new study has characterised the "average" human genome, providing key information on normal human genetic variation and ...

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 ...
