A genetic master map of ancient grasses could be the key to future-proofing global food supplies, according to a new study ...

PerturbFate can systematically map how diverse disease-associated genetic variations reshape cells to understand complex diseases, like cancer.

Diseases like cancer or neurodegeneration are known to arise from genetic misfires. But treating such complex conditions hasn ...

The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, ...

The Cucurbitaceae family, comprising economically important crops such as cucumber, melon, and watermelon, exhibits remarkable phenotypic diversity in traits including fruit size, shape, and flesh ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew ...

Bionano Genomics and Greenwood Genetic Center have announced a study published in Genome Research, marking the first use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to explore the genetic factors behind neural ...

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 ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...

Over the past decade, scientists have identified numerous genetic variants that confer substantial risk for autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders. However, most of these discoveries were made ...
