Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...

A research team led by the University of California, Irvine has built the first genetic reference maps for short lengths of DNA repeated multiple times which are known to cause more than 50 lethal ...

A massive study with over 6 million participants reveals genetic clusters behind 14 psychiatric disorders, opening the door to better diagnoses and treatments.

The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Genetics discoveries are rapidly identifying the people at greater risk for cancers and other diseases, but researchers at HealthPartners are concerned that they are happening too fast for doctors and ...

A new study, published in Nature Genetics, created the largest genetic map of human metabolism, revealing new insights into the role of metabolites in health and disease and creating a blueprint for ...

A research team has built a genetic reference maps for short lengths of DNA repeated multiple times which are known to cause more than 50 lethal human diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

All cancer mutations that cause drug resistance fall into one of four categories. New research has detailed each type, helping to uncover targets for drug development and identify potential effective ...

The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a globally significant crop whose genetic improvement is constrained by its complex hexaploid genome, high heterozygosity and outcrossing nature. Recent ...

Melon (Cucumis melo) represents a model crop for exploring genetic diversity and trait mapping owing to its long history of domestication and worldwide cultivation. Recent advances have elucidated its ...
