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 ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

By studying genetic data from nearly 140,000 IVF embryos, scientists have with unprecedented detail revealed why fewer than ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

Genetic variability and sex-specific differences may play a role in sickle cell disease (SCD)-related pain; however, more research is needed. In the present study, saliva samples from 59 adults with ...

This research provides a comprehensive analysis of deleterious mutations in pear (Pyrus spp.) during domestication, shedding ...

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 ...

A new study finds the genetic backgrounds of people in the U.S. are "highly complex" and may differ from their self-defined racial or ethnic groups. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...
