Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Are human beings as unique as snowflakes? Not quite, but new research shows humans may have a lot more individuality than originally thought -- in fact, the genetic codes of people can vary by as much ...

Several genetic variations were recovered in individuals during remission compared to those in active disease. Recovered features included reduction of plasma and cell cycle signatures and increase of ...

This research provides a comprehensive analysis of deleterious mutations in pear (Pyrus spp.) during domestication, shedding light on their impact on agronomic traits. By resequencing 232 pear ...

For many years, scientists have known that genetic variants, or differences in DNA code across people, play some role in neurological and psychiatric disorders. But the details were murky. Now, ...

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...

New research by the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) of Singapore has identified for the first time how gene variations cause changes in the brain that are linked to essential tremor—a common ...

A new study suggests that the long-standing Mendelian view of genetics has some blind spots.
