A groundbreaking DNA study reveals how genetic mutations pass through generations, offering new insights into disease and ...

In the following section we briefly discuss genetic and genomic approaches that have been used in a variety of model systems to identify candidate genes that contribute to the pathogenesis of and ...

A research team has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), termed the NyuWa VNTR Polymorphism Map. The team has generated maps using high ...

Precisely how lowered levels of the gene product, an enzyme called hexoseaminidase A, protect against TB isn't known. Balanced polymorphism may explain why cystic fibrosis is so common- the ...

Rather, most of the variation in genetic polymorphisms is related to differences among individuals within populations—some 85% worth. Only about half of the remaining 15%—that which might be ...

Balancing selection, in contrast to directional selection, maintains genetic polymorphism in populations. For example, if heterozygotes at a locus have higher fitness than homozygotes (a scenario ...

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget, Volume 16, on April 4, 2025, titled “Association between two single ...

An interesting genetic study has unlocked key variations in the West African honey bee (Apis mellifera adansonii), shedding light on its molecular diversity across urban and rural environments in ...

We recognize that some amount of ascertainment bias is inherent in our use of the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange ... on the β 2-adrenergic receptor polymorphism analysis, and Rosa Dailey ...

PCR genetic analysis has been in the spotlight since COVID-19, but light is now further facilitating PCR-free methods. Osaka ...

A study has constructed an unprecedented pangenome map of wild and cultivated rice, and decoded the genetic architecture and ...

A UK study found that using a polygenic risk score to identify men at highest genetic risk of prostate cancer significantly improved detection of clinically important disease. This approach caught ...
