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 ...
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 ...
CHICAGO -- These days, it's faster and cheaper than ever to decipher a person's entire DNA. But a small study suggests looking for disease risks that way may not be ready for the masses. For one thing ...
Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...
KYOTO – An international team of researchers has taken an important step toward understanding how gene expression is controlled across the human genome. A new study has comprehensively analyzed ...
NASA scientists and academic colleagues are studying tiny hairs inside microorganisms to find clues about kidney disease. “To accomplish the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA has to ensure astronauts ...
The contribution of genetics to the variability in people’s metabolism has remained largely unknown. This is, in part, because genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and ...
University of South Australia scientists have developed a powerful new way to uncover the genetic interactions that fuel cancer progression, paving the way for earlier and more precise treatments. The ...
The effort to produce a map of the human genetic code turned into a race three years ago when Celera Genomics Corp. of Rockville announced it could do the job faster and more cheaply than an ...
