Many human traits are influenced by multiple genes. Human genes can also carry slight variations in their gene sequences, which can have a wide range of effects. In some complex traits, those small ...

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence complex traits in humans at a scale previously impossible. The new method was ...

The Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse resource has emerged as an indispensable platform for elucidating the genetic basis of complex traits. By combining high levels of genetic diversity from eight ...

A new genome-wide mapping method finally shows how thousands of genes connect to drive disease. Biomedical researchers are working intensively to identify the genes that contribute to disease, with ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

This study leverages advanced genomics and machine learning to refine the understanding of key fruit quality traits in ...

An individual’s genetics and their environment both shape their personality. However, opinions differ on the degree to which each of these factors influences personality, and how they contribute to ...
