A new study combines genetic data and improved computational tools to look more closely at GWAS results for both adult-onset and childhood-onset asthma. The research identified many genetic variants ...

Chitons overcome evolutionary constraints through unprecedented genomic dynamism, with extensive chromosomal rearrangements and duplications despite about 300 million years of morphological stasis.

But they are unable to reveal where specific genetic sequences were located inside that sample, or their relationship to other genes and molecules ... By tagging each DNA or RNA molecule and ...

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genome regions containing thousands of genetic variants associated with asthma, but it's still not clear which variants have an ...
